Pet care experience

Working from Home, Dog Lover

I had a terrier my whole childhood who I absolutely adored. After he passed I would dog sit for all my friends and family members for years until I finally adopted my own pup, then a second. I have years of experience dog sitting and will treat your pet like family.

Doggy Day Care • lug 23, 2025

This was the second time leaving Ginger in Mel's care. You could see that Ginger was treated well the first time based on her demeanor when we arrived. She confidently walked right in and you could tell she was very relaxed this time around. I also felt very comfortable leaving Ginger, knowing that she was in good hands. Thanks again for taking such good care of my little girl, Mel. Hope to be able to use your services again soon.

Doggy Day Care • feb 12, 2025

I really appreciate Mel accepting my little girl Ginger's booking on last minute notice. Ginger looked happy and relaxed when I picked her up after her stay. I definitely recommend Mel to care for your pet if a need for a sitter ever arises. Mel kept us informed with updates and pictures throughout the stay. Furthermore, Mel is very personable and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely use her services again if she will have us.

Mel was an amazing dog walker, super friendly and always on time. She was able to accommodate our schedule changes. Also got along great with our pup Olive. We highly recommend Mel!

Mel was amazing! Very communicative, loved receiving videos and photos of Daisy playing with her dog. It was clear how much fun my pup was having and that she was being well-cared for. Would 100% recommend!
