Why not make a new friend?

Hey! 😁👋🏾 I'm Mel & Grey is my co-host for welcoming your fur baby into our home. I became a babysitter because my Grey definitely needs more than a physical body present. He needs someone to engage him, play, talk to him, not just someone who takes him outside twice a day. If my baby needs interaction, I'm sure yours does too! Dogs are social beings so I have no intention of just letting them do whatever while I do my own thing. I spend time getting to know their individual personalities, seeing if they prefer to run in my backyard with Grey, play tug of war, tear up a toy or just cuddle up & watch TV with us. I'm mostly offering my services so Grey can have memorable sleepovers with our guests but also I just really enjoy dogs! 💕

This was the first time ever using a pet sitter that wasn’t family or close friends and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Mel, she is truly the best! From beginning to end there were no complications. Mel was so accommodating and quick to respond. We were out of the country for 2 weeks and received so many videos, pictures, & updates on how our Delilah was doing. I will be recommending Mel’s services to everyone I know and whoever reads this I have no doubt your fur baby will be in great hands.

Mel did amazing with my baby ! Great communication and my girl had so much fun. She eased my anxiety with a bunch of pictures and videos. Will definitely use her in the future.

Mel did so great with my baby! He had so much fun and came home a sleepy boy:) I got plenty of photos and videos so no need to be anxious about how the pup is doing! 10/10 recommend

My dog was well taken care of. I received several updates throughout each day my dog was there. I would 100% trust Mel to watch my pets.

Schedule

I telework and I'm very rarely busy so I could play with the dogs while on the clock. A win - win-win situation ! 😀. If I have to take care of something anything Grey is a great host and would make sure your baby is never bored. If anything he'll tire them out lol

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that's pretty spacious but if your kid needs a bit more space I'd be more than happy to take them to the park. I send pictures and/ or videos every two to three hours so you have a good idea of how well your baby is responding to our hospitality & you can be at ease✨️

Pets

A typical day

Grey has many many toys he likes to share and your kid would be more than welcomed to! For the less rowdy babies, a walk around my subdivision usually gets the job done

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Mel can host up to 3 pets per night
Please bring whatever they sleep on or in, their food, bowls, and their favorites from home (toys, blankets etc). Kinda hard to relax in a stranger's home without the basic familiars 😁
