About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since a small child, from city to country life, dogs and cats to guinea pigs, bunnies, amphibians, fish of all sizes, feathered friends, farm animals, etc. I have been lucky to be loved by dogs my entire life, and there would be a huge void without them. My ultimate dream would be to have my own rescue and take in a ridiculous amount of pets needing love, care, and attention. I have watched friends’ and family’s pets and owned many sizes, breeds, and temperaments of dogs but am particularly a lover of northern breeds! I have even bred and raised a few litters of huskies and kept many of them as well. Of course, my favorite color is husky fur! Last year, I rescued a dog for the first time and this experience has taught me a lot about distressed, high anxiety, and untrained dogs that come with unknown traumas, fears, and unique needs — and I’m still learning! I have “survived” (ha!) through the distinct trials and joys that come with puppies learning manners, boundary-pushing dogs in their teens, and persnickety, tired, or low-energy senior dogs, as well as high-energy dogs, escape artists, dominant mama dogs, dogs afraid of water or grooming, submissive fur babies always in need of a pack and a leader. And I have been patient with or found humor in every behavioral quirk and unique personality trait. I love to bike-jour, swim, paddle, camp, and adventure with my dogs just as much as I love snuggling inside, watching them sleep while grabbing cameos, playing with them one on one, basking in the sunshine and playing with or in water, and frequenting local parks to see them socialize and get their zoomies out. I also like to play fetch and brain games with those dogs needing a little “extra” stimulation. I don’t flinch from caring for large groups of dogs simultaneously, dog nose art, dogs with special needs, or even naughty by nature fur babies (my kids might say I have a knack for picking these more spirited and escapist dogs). I have cared for two pets with chronic illnesses who required special diets and administering of meds and IVs so am not fearful of caring for your own pets if they have special needs. And I have had to manage through vet emergencies and making decisions about/coping through the pain of the rainbow bridge. I am currently home full time and therefore available most week days/nights and weekends. (I have the occasional errand or appointment; and when working onsite, I have flexibility to choose weekdays/times.) I have a fenced yard and can give both indoor time and outdoor exercise or sunbathing; and I can crate your dog if or when needed. I sometimes find that high-energy and younger dogs sometimes need naps or space from one another; therefore I may separate dogs with a crate or gate (my own included). My approach with dog conflicts or “poor” behavior is the use of a spray bottle (with water and essential oils), and redirection to Sit/Stay or their Place if sent with them (blanket, bed, etc.). I separate dogs for feeding. Your pets will be safe and happy with Tahoe, Jazmine, and me; and they can relax, play outside, be fed, and get the same attention, snuggles, and care I give my own pets!

About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.

About: I've had pets since I was born. Cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and age. I've spent the last 14 years with my soul dog. He was a Golden/Lab/St. Bernard with a lot of anxiety and a huge love of food. In his old age he had mobility problems, incontinence, was on several medications, and needed as much attention as I could give him. I am fully prepared to give any animal I meet the same level of love and care. I've been the main care provider for my dogs for the last 14 years and always put their needs before mine. Taking them potty is the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night. Furry friends rely on us for care and I want to make sure they are doing great. When I care for pets in your home I will follow your instructions to a T. Make sure they get lots of love, cuddles (if they like them), and attention.

“You and the kiddos are the very Best and Zigs is very lucky to have you guys care for him! He is always so happy when we get back and looks so good! Thanks again for the pictures it makes my day. 😁”

“Melanie was a life saver. I was on a trip for Christmas. The family friend of my husband was supposed to watch Isabel. We had not heard from her for 18 hrs. So I had a friend check on Isabel. But, she could only do it for 2 days and we were going to be gone for another day. On Dec 24th at the last minute, Melanie took my emergency visit for the 25th and at am amazing rate. Thank you so much for helping Isabel and our sanity. I will definitely be asking in the future and recommending you to everyone”
