Pet care experience

Remote job/animal lover/experienced

I’m an experienced, trained animal sitter as I volunteer for Orange County Animal Service. At the shelter I need to handle cats and dogs of different age and size, and learn about their behaviors and body language. I’m a very patient and compassionate person, and animals seem to like me naturally. I also have my own pet hedgehog, and I used to have hamsters and dogs as pets too

Melody is simply the best! If you haven’t booked with her, what are you waiting for!? You won’t be disappointed with the care she brings to your home and your fur baby!

Melody took wonderful care of Moppie giving me peace of mind while traveling with my mom. She kept me informed and advised me when problems arose so we could solve them in the best way! I will have her back anytime with full confidence—and that is a true compliment because I and Moppie are high maintenance!

Melody was amazing with our cat Timo. Timo is blind but had no problem adjusting to her place. It is a super clean environment friendly for play and exploring. You can tell Timo enjoyed her company so much. We'll be sticking with Melody for any future pet sittings for sure!

Melody was very easy to communicate with and flexible. She took great care of our cats and sent some good photos and videos which we always appreciate! Will certainly try to use her again!

Schedule

I work remotely Mon-Fri 8-4, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m okay to stay at your house with all the furry babies! My work is easy and cushy so I have time to keep your pets accompanied and entertained during weekdays. I have plan on weekends occasionally, but I’m available most of the time!

Safety, trust & environment

As my current landlord doesn’t allow cats and dogs, I’d prefer to do pet sitting in your home, or pocket pet sitting at my place (I have a hedgehog myself). Dog walking also sounds great! My time is pretty flexible, and I’m a very patient individual who respects different lifestyles and habits.

Pets

A typical day

I would like to play games with your pets with their favorite toys, run around with them when they want to, and I love to give a lot of pettings and attention that they love ❤️ I can also spend some quiet time with them just reading, snuggling, or sun bathing. Honestly, whatever makes them happy, makes me happy too!

Cats

Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Melody can host up to 3 pets per night
