Life-long dog lover eager to help:)

Pet care experience

I’ve had my own lovely lab for over 8 years (she lives with my family, my apartment will be pet free) and I’ve looked after/walked multiple dogs fairly consistently for over 6 years. I adore dogs and want the best for your furry friends!

Melanie took such great care of Charley, who managed to make it nearly 2 weeks before getting into mischief with a sock. 😣Melanie communicated with me immediately and kept me informed, including having researched the appropriate way to handle the situation. I appreciate the confidence she has when dealing with a possible emergency. Thank you again for allowing me to visit with my family with peace of mind, and I do apologize for Charley giving you a scare.

This is the first time leaving George with Melanie. We spoke on the phone before I left him and I was pleased with the questions she asked to get to know my dog and how to best care for him. He was well cared for while I was away and I would not hesitate to have her care for George again.

Melanie was great and managed my high-energy dog Buddy very well along with my two older dogs.
