Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, patient, & friendly walker!
I've taken care of dogs since 6 years old- through these years, I've learned to train, walk, socialize, and uplift dogs. I have a dog of my own, Kiwi, that I take on frequent walks and dog park play time. I specialize in caring for pets with separation anxiety, rescues, and any level of training. No pup/cat is too difficult! As long as they are not aggressive, I'm happy to provide top level care. Neighbors have relied on me for overnight onboarding and multiple-day care. I also have fostered puppies that required potty training/exercise. Flexible pet care with mostly after 5pm on weekdays availability and anytime during the weekends. I am also open to early morning commitments. Dog walking/onboarding would be an add-on joy to my current full time job in renewable energy. At home, I have a rescue cat and dog that have required a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. Similarly to my own pets, I would ensure optimal comfort and wellbeing for the lil ones. It could be in the form of baby gates for safe spaces for multi-pet environment, scaning the area for potential issues (i.e. choking hazards for puppies), and providing my undivided attention to them.

Safety, trust & environment
Given my experience is with rescue animals, I am extra careful of what could pose a harm to any dog or cat. I'm constantly scaning the environment for hazards, and rather be safe than sorry. Your pets safety is my priority, and I make sure they are safe in my care. As a pet parent myself, I would want a sitter to keep them safe and happy at all times. That is the kind of intention I bring to taking care of the lil ones.
Ratings and reviews
Mel was a delight to work with and would absolutely recommend her for any dog sitting needs. Her communication was excellent and her care (+photo updates!) for our 10yo Bernedoodle was exactly what we were looking for during our time away. We'll definitely be calling Mel for our next dogsitting stay.
Mel took excellent care of Max and Rosie. They were happy and well looked after when we got home! We appreciated the thoughtful updates and the attention given to both pets. We would definitely book again!
Mel was amazing will definitely be reaching out again soon!
Mel was amazing, very attentive and communicative. She sent me photo updates every day, gave my dog her medicine on time, and left my place just as clean as I left it. I came home to a happy pup!
Mel is the best! Have used her many times and our pup loves her! Reliable and trustworthy!
Mel is the best!

Schedule
I prioritize pet wellbeing according to their needs. Depending on the day of the week, it could mean walks to the park, a beach day, or a potential hike. I'm happy to adjust to their needs and walking preference! Since I work full time from home, M-F, this allows for your pup to always be supervised and have a play/cuddle mate, my pup Kiwi. On the weekends, my care is much more active meaning more time outdoors and tailoring to your pets needs. I absolutely love learning about pets quirks -does your cat like being taken out on a backpack? Does your dog love to watch Harry Potter? Believe it or not, I have embraced those special preferences and made them part of my care. ♥️

- Let me know if your dog has any food allergies or special needs/attention/triggers on walks. I usually carry treats since my pup is so food motivated, so let me know if that is okay for your dog. Additionally, if there is any "best practices" you'd like me to keep in mind to prevent reactivity and have more enjoyable walks.
