About Melody

Experience: 10 yrs

My enjoyment of working with animals began at a young age. Pets are considered family. Employed for UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital for over 10 years, hundreds of animals come through our dept. daily. I really love my job. I would love to assist you in caring for your beloved pet and provide assistance and comfort to your pet family. I started working with animals when I was young and always had pets growing up. I rescued and found homes for dogs and cats too. I also walked and babysat many dogs. In my spare time, I like to hike, walk friends' dogs, play tennis, and cook. One thing you should know about me is that I'm a very dedicated, patient person. My skills include giving your beloved pets lots of TLC! Walking, cleaning, and bathing, engaging with pets to help prevent anxiety and boredom. I have experience in giving subcutaneous hydration for older cats.

Melody was an INCREDIBLE sitter for my senior pup! She and her husband were so kind and thoughtful, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. Melody went the extra mile with taking him to the park, getting him tennis balls to play with, and setting up a meet and greet before he came to stay so they could get to know each other. My dog tends to be anxious, but Melody's calm demeanor was the perfect match for him. I will absolutely be reaching out to Melody the next time I need a dog sitter!
