If you're looking for someone who will not only keep your animal safe, but also provide them with a fun, interactive experience while you're away or at work Mel will do that and more. Mel is knowledgeable and attentive. Not only does she come with hands on experience she is genuinely a wonderful and cool human. She will care for your animal as if it was her own and if you let her probably send you loads of pictures and videos because she cannot help but enjoy herself when she is around the animals as well. If you have an animal that is more on the shy side, she will care for and approach your animal with safety and patience. I could not recommend Mel enough and I promise if you want to enjoy your day while knowing your animal is enjoining their day as well - hire Mel.

Mel is one of the only people who I would trust to watch my pets- Mel is attentive, caring, and as a bonus, has veterinary training! I would not hesitate to strongly recommend Mel for your pet sitting or dog walking needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Every situation varies, depending on the need of the client and the dog they have. I usually, naturally, will train basic fundamentals with dogs, while walking them. Some clients I take to private Sniffspots, while others I may take to an appointment.

Information Mel C. would like to know about your pet

PLEASE simply let me know if your dog resource guards, if they are reactive, or has any special behavioral quirks with strangers entering the home.

A typical day

Mental exercise is just as, if not more important, than physical exercise. I love to mix training and fun, which is how i build my relationships with the animals I work with.
