Let's have some fun! Cats welcomed!

Hello, my name is Melonie, and I am a college graduate from Methodist University with a bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I'm full of energy but very conscientious of the expectations of every owner and pet. I raised my dog for 13 years until she passed of natural causes, and have been able to learn a lot of what it takes to train and discipline these furry friends while still having fun. I also have experience with livestock as well as most exotic pets. I'm confident in my ability to prevent puppy messes as well. My work schedule does not change, and information of hours can be provided upon request. Please check my availability calendar before requesting me, and please try to book as far ahead as possible. I look forward to meeting with you and your wonderful fur buddy.

Melonie was able to keep my girls on extremely short notice during the Christmas holiday. She was extremely professional, asked questions to make sure she knew exactly how to make both them and me comfortable, and even my typically very skittish rescue warmed to her immediately. I was away for 9 days and didn’t worry about them for a minute! Very grateful to have found her.

Wonderful experience! I loved getting videos and updates from Melonie. She took very good care of our fur babies.

I was very leery about hiring an individual that I did not know coming into my home and house sitting and taking care of my 3 pups and 1 cat. I could not have even imagined that I would be overjoyed with the entire process. As soon as I met Melonie on our Meet N Greet I just knew she would work out. She kept me in the loop the entire time I was gone. Shared plenty of pictures just to give me peace of mind. You would never know anyone had stayed in my home. She picked up behind herself and left the house just as I had left it. I highly recommend her for any one looking for someone that can give you peace of mind for your home and animals. I was able to relax and decompress for a couple of days. I will definitely be reaching out to Melonie again. She was AMAZING!
