About Melanie

I am a mature and reliable sitter who is a lover of cats, dogs, and other small furry friends. I have taken care of cats for over 15 years and have started to watch over dogs as well in the past few years. I am very comfortable around them and know when it's time for pats or time for space. Every cat and dog has his/her own personality and needs.My first cat was my family cat that we rescued when I was just 13 years old and then I adopted my very own cat at 23, who sadly passed away two years ago. Since then, I’ve been professionally cat sitting for more than 2 years now and dog sitting for a little more than a year.

The animals in our lives are more than just pets, they become members of our families and I know what a great responsibility I have when watching over someone else's beloved animal. The time I have spent professionally pet sitting have been wonderfully fulfilling. I know the importance of punctuality, attention to detail, and reliability.

I live in a spacious studio apartment with a sun room where any pet would have plenty of room to stretch out. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your companion would have full reign of my home :). I have a large, sturdy scratching post, cat tree and toys for our furry guests. I also have a number of parks nearby that are great for walking and playing fetch! I can come by and watch your pet at your home or I can have them over here. Either way you will know your animal is in good hands, with regular feedback, daily photos and updates, and plenty of cuddles and loving attention.

I look forward to working with you and your pet!

Melanie was amazing, our cats warmed to her straight away. The transition was seamless & Melanie kept us updated with photos and tales throughout our trip! Would highly recommend her services again!
