Dogs make the best friends!
Pet care experience
I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Great Pyrenees to Chihuahuas. My family and I are involved with rescuing dogs and currently volunteer our time with the Golden Retriever Rescue of Southwest Florida. It is so hard to put into words the loving relationships I have with the dogs in my life. I don't have any children; so my chihuahua is my daughter. They truly are members of my family! Over the years, I have always been trusted to take care of my friends' dogs when they are on vacation, etc. I get along with all breeds, young or old. Choosing a pet care provider is an important decision and I would love to have the opportunity to comfort, care, love and spoil your dog!
Reviews
We were in a pinch and reached out to Melanie last minute, and she couldn't have been more accommodating. From the moment we dropped off our beloved furry companion, we felt completely at ease. His excitement upon meeting her assured us he was in good hands. Melanie kept us updated throughout the day, which we greatly appreciated. We will unquestionably enlist her services again and wholeheartedly recommend her to others!
Melanie was great! She spent a lot of time entertaining and walking our playful Goldendoodle, "Sophie", something you can't get @ a kennel. We received pictures and daily reports which really helped us with our separation anxiety (Ha!) and most importantly Sophie loved her!

Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the way your dog likes to be greeted, any special instructions, and medical/emotional special needs. Please let me know what makes your dog happy and comfortable. Also, what makes them feel unhappy and uncomfortable.
A typical day
I like to personalized daily activities around the personality of the dog. Ranging from: watching movies together and chilling to health based athletic activities like swimming. I like to give each dog one nice long walk on a leash through the neighborhood. I usually like to go around sunset because there's daylight but it's not too hot (length of time and intensity varies per dog).
