Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve watched many types of dogs in my life. I am very patient with dogs and their different needs. I currently own a rescue dog I’ve had for two years and he is the sweetest. I love all types of breeds and have personally had a german Shepard, Alaskan malamute, retriever mix and now have a boxer/lab mix. I walk my dog everyday and understand the importance of exercise as well as mental stimulation for a dog. Ive also loved with puppies and am equipped to take care of any dog under 1 as well. I know how to potty train, as well as teach tricks using positive reinforcement. I’m available anytime to watch your dog and will offer exceptional care for them.

The house was a great setup for dogs with open access to a large backyard. In the time that we spent talking, Mel seemed caring and to love dogs very much. Also, Mel's dog was sweet and clearly good with other dogs. My only concern was that there were additional Rover dogs at the house during the stay and my dog can get overwhelmed if there are multiple pups. My dog was happy when I got him, so all was well.

I cannot recommend this dog sitter in good conscience. I booked a day of daycare at her house, and halfway through I got a voicemail from a random neighbor saying that they found my dog running around the neighborhood and called the number on her tags. I called Mel and she said she left the dogs unsupervised in the backyard while she went to the grocery store, and my dog dug a hole under the fence and let all 3 dogs escape. Fortunately she got my dog back without any issue, but I am astounded by the lack of good judgment. She also did not tell me she was taking care of another dog that day, which is surprising since we met a few weeks back specifically to make sure that her dog and my dog got along nicely. Not telling me there would be another dog is just dumb and risky. The fact that I had to hear about my dog's little adventure through the neighborhood from a random person and not Mel bothers me...I wonder if she would have even told me about it or if she would wait until my dog got hit by a car or something. Don't use this sitter.

Our boys had a great time with Mel and Groot! Fenced in yard with lots of space to run i.d just what they needed.
