About Melanie

Hello,

My name is Melanie. I am a lover of all animals, I have lived with dogs and cats all my life and truly believe that life is better with a pet.

I have just graduated from my Veterinary Assistant program at Algonquin College and am now working in a rehabilitation facility providing physiotherapy to animals.

My services include dog walks, home visits, and house sitting!

My walks can be from 45 min to 1 hour. They include the walk, play time at a park if there is one near by, and cuddles when we're back home. House visits can be from 45 min to 1 hour, they include, cleaning the litter, refreshing the water and food and of course cuddles and play time. House sitting price is dependent on the species and number of animals in the home (as dogs will require extra service -walks etc). I am happy to come meet and greet at your convenience!

I always make sure to take plenty pics to send to owners and make sure everyone is happy with my service.

I have been pet sitting since 2014 and don’t plan to ever stop as I find it so fun and rewarding.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

As usual Melanie was perfect, Arthur loves her!

He came home tired and as they say a tired dog is a happy dog

House Sitting

Melanie was amazing at accepting my last minute house sitting request. She took great care of my cat Jordyn and kept me updated with lots of pictures every day. During my time away from Jordyn, I was comfortable knowing that Melanie was taking good care of her. I am looking forward to having her take care of Jordyn again in the future when I have to leave town.
