“This is our second time with Melanie! We had a 14 day vacation and she took care of our fur babies in our home so both our dogs and we felt comfortable on the lengthy time apart. She is responsive and gives updates throughout the time with our pets. Came home to a surprise Santa photo with the dogs which was super cute! She is respectful of our home and we trust her. Thank you again Melanie! Astro and Alani will look forward to our next planned vacation without them!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our boy! We got so lucky! Jude took such incredible care of Gunner while we were away, sending regular photo updates and keeping us informed the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. She also kept our home spotless, which was such a wonderful bonus to come home to!

About: Growing up with a bichon frise, I’ve always loved and been comfortable around dogs, and know the daily routine of caring for them:how to feed, bathe, brush, walk, play, etc. Throughout my four years in college, I walked a golden doodle everyday (rain or shine) and considered her my best friend at school! We played fetch, chased each other around, and walked through the neighborhood together, creating such a strong bond between us. I have also house-sat for two dachshunds, a yorkie, a schnauzer mix, and a golden retriever. Dogs are my love and my passion and I would be so excited to house-sit, play and/or walk with your furry friend! I’m currently looking for a full-time job, so I have lots of free time to spend with dogs. As someone who considers dogs to be part of the family, I’m always considering their wants and needs when scheduling my time. After all, dogs only live for so long, so I want to make sure that their time is well-spent! My home is currently only appropriate for small dogs. However, as a four-year dog-walker, I’m experienced and comfortable with popping in, grabbing what I need for a walk, and getting out the door with minimal disturbance to my client’s home life.

About: As an only child, I grew up with my dogs as my siblings and I have grown to adore them. I will provide playtime, walks, and unlimited cuddles for your best friend! My family and I currently have four dogs, Brooklyn, Whitney, Sammy, and Bourbon - They are all Labrador Retrievers and very well behaved. I have taken care of dogs of Rover parents, family, family friends, and neighbors for the past few years and it is such a fun experience! I am a firm believer that dogs are a blessing and they deserve the very best care! I am confident that I will help you give them that special care when you are not available. Pet care is an important and joyful part of my life, even with a full-time work schedule. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for your pet. I know that a loved pet is a happy pet, so I make it my priority to show your fur baby all of the love that I can while you are not home with them. This includes cuddles, play time, walks, and plenty of potty breaks!
