Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Melody! I am a dedicated pet walker, sitter and all over animal lover located near the beautiful Sea Coast. If you have been looking for a reliable and caring sitter to look after your furry, feathered, or scaly friends you've found the perfect person. Ive owned and pet sat birds, fish, dogs and cats and have looked after lizards, snakes, and rats. Whether you are looking for a daily check-in, weekly walk, fun play time, regular feeding or occasional taxi service, I will be there to provide the care and attention your loved one deserves! I have experience administering medications in the form of pills, oral syringes, topical treatments, and medicated food additives, and am capable of following strict dietary needs. It is so important to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you are away or unavailable and I look forward to being that care giver for you! Please message me with requests or questions. - Melody J.

Melody took care of my cat Mr. Kindly on a few occasions while I was out of town. She did an amazing job making sure his litter was clean, he had plenty of food/water and a friend to keep him company.

Melody is truly exceptional when it comes to pet care! My family and I were out of town for two weeks, and she came to our home every single day to take care of our cat and all nine of our fish. She went above and beyond in every way. Melody made sure our pets were well cared for by feeding them daily, scooping the litter box consistently, and even doing a full litter change. She also took the extra step to clean up any litter our cat tracked around the house. What really stood out was how much love and attention she gave our cat—she didn’t just stop by to complete tasks, she made sure he felt comforted and cared for while we were away. She was equally attentive with our fish, carefully checking on them every day and following their feeding routine perfectly. Her reliability and dedication gave us total peace of mind during our trip. We’re so grateful for Melody and already know she’ll be our first choice for any future trips. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!
