Hi, I'm Melina - a licensed social worker and lifelong animal lover. I've had pets since I was a toddler, including fish, bearded dragons, dogs, cats, hamsters, and parrots. I currently have two wonderful cats of my own and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years. I'm experienced with administering medication, following detailed care instructions, and giving each pet the love and attention they deserve. As a fellow pet owner, I know how important it is to feel completely confident in the person caring for your animals. I've had both negative and positive experiences hiring sitters myself, which is part of what inspired me to start offering pet care as a side gig. I may be new to this platform, but not to pet care - and I'm happy to provide references. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or just extra TLC, I'll treat your pet like my own. Looking forward to giving you peace of mind while you're away!
