Pet care experience

My dog thinks I’m the best

I was raised in a big family with at least two dogs and a cat at all times. I rescued my own two years ago upon graduating college and he’s been my best friend ever since. I know how important dogs are to you and your family because they ARE family

Mel was respectful solid and my house looked amazing after he left. It was nice having someone you can trust while on vacation.

Gatsby was so happy at Mel’s! Came back smiling and tired from all the play!

Mel was great with our German Shepherd. Took great care of him, sent photos and check-ins throughout the week, and definitely kept him busier than we do! Would definitely book again!

Manny loved his time with Mel and Gus! Would definitely have them watch again or recommend to anyone.

Schedule

I work remote full time. I am available throughout the day to care for, tend to, and manage your pet’s needs. My dog, Gus, is quick to befriend and has an ability to match the energy level of your dog. He’s the best.

I have a house with a fully fenced in yard. A great neighborhood for walks, and many chew toys and treats scattered throughout (with supervision)

Pets

A typical day

Lots of walks! I work fully remote so I do have plenty of time to spend with your pet(s). My dog gus loves new friends and is extremely friendly so your animal will have a built in best friend here.

Let me know if there are certain medications your pet(s) require and ideally if they chew toys or blankets or shoes or anything like that! We’ve dog proofed our house but some dogs can be a little clever
