Im the neighbourhood dog lady.

Pet care experience

A dog person through and through! I have to say hi to every dog I pass, so I’m looking forward to adding yours to our list of furr-iends! My dog, Koa, loves all dogs and just wants to play 24/7. The mention of anyone coming gets his tail wagging and puts the biggest smile on his face! I’m a graphic designer who works from home which provides me the opportunity to not only give a little extra care to my pet, but I’d happily extend the love and attention to yours!

Mel is amazing when looking after our dog. She is so responsive leading up to the appointment and during her stay. Mel will send me pictures and videos of Lucy and her dog Koa playing and having a great time. Mel is professional and clearly of lover of animals and I am so comfortable leaving our beautiful Newfoundland dog in her care. I will always go to Mel when I need someone to look after Lucy as I know that she is in good hands.

Mel is the best dog person I know. Actually, they are not animals to Mel, but family. She was our dog nanny for an entire summer when we had two English Bulldog pups!!! They loved her. She was ALWAYS our dog sitter when available, since we knew they would get loving care......not just fed and left outside. I highly recommend her
