Responsible, Personable, Dog-lover
Pet care experience
I’m a true dog-lover. And been a dog-owner for 30+ years of my life -- loved every minute of it. I've cared for my own in very different geographies and climates: Tennessee, Florida, Oregon, and New York City. I don't currently have a dog, so I look at this venture as a great way to enjoy their companionship, while making some extra money. I can honestly say, I've never met a dog I didn't like...and I believe, vice-versa! I'm very experienced in training, walking, feeding and comforting pets while their owners are away. I'm genuine, responsible, reliable, and fun. And also take the job very seriously. I believe the most important thing for clients to know, is that I intend to care for them as close to their normal routine as humanly possible. It is the best way to ensure a smooth transition for them, and their owners. Lastly, I was raised to leave a home better than when I arrived! I'd like my clients to have that assurance when considering my services. I look forward to meeting your best friend!

Information Mel K. would like to know about your pet
No preference, I love all dogs. I have a lot of experience with large breeds (labs, retrievers). But also enjoy every other size and type, as they all have a wonderful spirit. I don’t have CPR training yet, but would like to take a course before I begin. I am comfortable/experienced in giving medication and other challenging situations with dogs—I have an easiness that comforts them
A typical day
I am all about comforting the dog, and making sure they feel safe, secure, and continue the activities that they’re used to. So, I will take cues, instruction, and notes from their owners. I’m at ease in almost any dog setting: parks, dog runs, neighborhoods, homes, and yards. I love it!
