Local Cat Mom, Sitter & Dog Walker

Pet care experience

Hello, there! I have over 10 years experience of experience providing loving and attentive pet care. I volunteered at the Santa Fe Humane Society for two years as a dog walker/socializer and I have worked with another pet care app as a dog walker since 2016. I have plenty of personal experience as well. I grew up in a household that regularly fostered rescues and strays in addition to caring for our own pets. I’m well-equipped to care for a wide range of dog breeds/sizes/ages and I comfortable working with a wide range of personalities.

Mellie was just wonderful and my Maggie enjoyed her walks. Timely, friendly and professional. Definitely recommend Mellie to take care of and love your fur babies.

Mellie is a kind and professional pet caregiver, and the most trustworthy person to take care of your fur babies. I have known her for 12 years and she has volunteered with animals since a kid, fostered and raised many, and is the perfect person for the walking, sitting, and care of your pet.

Mellie is a total animal lover and the sweetest soul! She has a couple kittens of her own that she adores and takes wonderful care of. She is very responsible and organized, and will take care of your fur baby as if he/she is her own :)

Mellie's Recommendation In a world where pets need only the best care, one human holds the key to help them all. I am thrilled to recommend Mellie as a pet caregiver. Having known Mellie for several moons, I've witnessed first-hand the unparalleled dedication, love, and responsibility she brings to pet care. From the moment Mellie steps into a room, animals seem to gravitate towards her calming presence. She possesses a unique ability to connect with pets of all kinds, understanding their needs and emotions intuitively. Mellie's approach to pet care goes beyond basic needs; she invests time in play, exercise, and affection, ensuring they thrive and feel loved and secure. Mellie is incredibly responsible, always prioritizing the health and well-being of the pets in her care. She is meticulous about feeding schedules, medication administration, and exercise routines, adapting seamlessly to each pet's needs. Her attention to detail is remarkable (ask my cat, Franklin!), from noticing subtle changes in behavior to staying informed about the latest in pet care and nutrition. What truly sets Mellie apart is her loving nature. She treats every pet like her own, providing a level of care and affection that is genuinely heartwarming. It's evident in how pets respond to her, showing trust and comfort in her presence. Mellie is an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a caregiver for their pet. Her combination of responsibility, knowledge, and genuine affection for animals ensures that your pet will be in the best possible hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Mellie to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled pet caregiver.

A typical day

When it comes to your dog, I’m happy to play fetch, tug-of-war, snuffle mat time or whatever game they enjoy most. When it comes to your cat, I’m happy to play together with a teaser wand toy or maybe a coil. Just let me know what your pet’s play preference is. I’m also a big fan of puzzle toys and clicker training, if your pet’s into that!
