63, Work full time remote

EDIT: I am newly retired..
Well, not anymore. I didn't stick. So I am back at work full time, but I work remotely. I'm still looking to explore areas where I might want to move to. I've downsized my home and am available for short notice sitting opportunities.

I have been a co-owner/business manager for a doggie daycare, pet sitting, and boarding kennel with my daughter for the last 5 years. We often take pets in our home or go to people's homes to pet sit.

In addition to a plethora of dogs and cats, my daughter has had exotic pets living with us since she was a small child. She is living on her own now, and I miss having them around. I have become quite fond of pet rats, snakes, lizards, etc., so if you have any of those pets, I'd be happy to sit for you as well.

In helping my daughter with her business, I have taken several courses in animal care and behavior.

Melanie did a great job looking after our dog Louie and our home. When we returned to our home, everything was in order, the house tidy and organized and most importantly, Louie was looking happy and healthy.

Communications with her were quick and ... MORE

Fabulous. Hope we get Melanie back again. Easy to communicate with and make plans. She took perfect care of our house and Siamese cat. Responded promptly to texts, and carefully & kindly handled the details of cat and garden care. Jennifer

Melanie took great care of our home and cats. She was very communicative. We appreciated her efforts. You will be very happy to have her take care of your fur babies.

Melanie was a great pet and house sitter. The cat and older dog attached to her very quickly . We were very comfortable with Melanie in our home and loved her honest and friendly manner. She was very flexible with our dates and we enjoyed meeting her the night before her arrival and departure. Our home was well kept up and the pets well cared for. We would not hesitate to ask her to watch our home and pets again. She even left the bed with new sheets made up to spare us the extra trouble. ... MORE

Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden & the potted plants are thriving when you return home. A house sitter will do this for you.
