My experience
I love animals and have had pets of all kinds - and can take care of plants, given clear instructions. I'm a neat freak and super clean. I've also owned 3 homes and am fairly handy.

I have known Melanie for lots of years, as a neighbor and friend. She grew up around many different types of animals and particularly loves cats and dogs.

And she is a terrific person to be around too!
