“Melanie is absolutely amazing!!! She is without a doubt the Mary Poppins/Dog Whisperer for all pets! We have 2 golden doodles who have really never been alone for more than a few hours as my husband works from home. We were invited on a 10 day cruise to Alaska and were so stressed out as we were not going to leave our pups in a kennel and having someone come “check” on them daily was not going to work either. Finding Melanie was a godsend. Besides spoiling your pets with love, your pets will be happy and not stressed. My girls ate daily, and warmed up to Melanie instantly. We came back late last night and the girls have been looking for her. Melanie communicates daily and my house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. I am so thankful for Melanie because not having to stress about our pups when we were gone was a huge deal. We will be requesting/using Melanie for all future trips. Thank you so much Melanie!!!”
“Great pet sitter! Our dogs are always super happy when she sits for us. She’s great at keeping us updated and sending us pictures. We never have to worry when she’s pet sitting for us!”
“Zachary was absolutely amazing as our dog sitter. He sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dogs loved him when he came over for a meet and greet. We will definitely book again with him. He was a great houseguest as well. He even left a cute Polaroid picture of our doggies.”
“Rebecca was great! Flexible and reliable our babies were well taken care of”
About: I have been pet/house sitting for the last several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I am a full time college student and would love a dog of my own and unable to do that at this time and would love walks and cuddles from your fur babies. I work less then 24 hours a week at Avera and have plenty a free time outside of work to walk and cuddle your fur babies. I am gone a few weekends in the summer but if I’m not gone I am willing to take my weekends/weekdays with your pets! I treat the pets like they are one of my own! I love to play fetch and go on walks! Outside of walk and fetch would love to just lay and cuddle your fur babies!
“Brady was PHENOMENAL with my pack of 4 doggos! He sent updates, and asked questions, which made me feel more than comfortable! 10/10 would recommend, and we’ll be using him again in the future!”

“We had Jazlyn house sit our 3 puppies for 5 days while we were out of town. We have a puppy with an autoimmune disease who can’t go to a kennel and needs meds so it’s nice to have someone come in and stay with them. She kept the house very clean, could barely tell she was here. She was nice enough to bring in a package for me and water the small patio garden once and throw some laundry in the dryer for me that didn’t finish running before we had to leave. We had a little issue with communication and updates. Also our high energy dog did not get walked as agreed. She did tell us the day we were coming home that she was leaving a little early because she hadn’t been feeling well so maybe that is the reason for the issues. Overall it went well and they were happy to see us when we got home.”

I have worked in a fast paced, task oriented, environment and enjoy staying organized and on top of my weekly schedule. We recently brought a Frenchton into our family, her name is Dolly and she has just been the best addition. But with a puppy I know first hand how often they need your attention. I have grown up around multiple breeds, sizes of dogs and have always had a couple dogs in our home. In high school and early college years I volunteered often at the local humane society and took the dogs on walks. I am available during the weekdays to let your puppers out for bathroom breaks, multiple times a day if needed (totally understand how often some young dogs need to go outside, haha!). With my work from home schedule, I am able to be flexible to what is needed for your pet on a day-to-day basis. I take my Dolly on daily walks and she LOVES it, so if you are looking for a local dog walker, I am more than willing to help fulfill that need for your furry friend.
