Stray kittens had Melanie defending them from mean neighborhood dogs, and feral cats learned to trust her. She grew up with cats, dogs, and freshwater fish, while her work as a babysitter and nanny has made caring for others part of her day. With Melanie, your pet gets time to play and cuddle, whether it has fur or not. When a neighbor’s dog escaped its yard, Melanie took it home or told the neighbor, so a wandering pet was never simply ignored.
Best for: Owners seeking playful, attentive care for pets of any size

Grew up with cats, dogs, and fish (fresh water). Tamed some of the feral stray cats when I was younger. I would also defend the stray kittens from mean neighborhood dogs. I would get to know the neighbors dogs and would take them home when they would escape their yard or let the neighbors know that their dog(s) escaped the yard.
How often do they need walks, fed, played with, etc.? Are they indoor/outdoor or both? Do they have allergies? Are they scared of loud noises? Are they on meds? Are they friendly? Are they scared of strangers? Are they babies or seniors? What type of pet (cat, dog, fish, horse, reptile, etc.)? How big or small are they? And any other questions you can think of that I have not.
I am a babysitter/nanny that does Uber on the side. I love animals and love helping take care of them. I like playing with and cuddling/snuggling the furrier ones, and some of the non-furrier ones.
