Would love to love your pets!
Pet care experience
I am a SAHM with a huge love for animals. I have plenty of experience with my own dogs, have helped out friends with theirs over the years, and have had 2 successful years booking through Rover (began summer 2021). Making your pets feel safe and loved is a priority. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping you out when you need it. I am flexible and available! I also have a experience grooming. I groom my own poodles and schnauzer and have helped out customers with basic grooming needs (bathing, trimming, de-matting, nails). Just ask and I can see what I can do while your dog is staying with us (affordable pricing). I have a large fenced yard, with an additional fenced area to separate dogs if needed. It is an outside corner lot with extra room to run!! The dogs are allowed to use the pool, so if you have swimmers they will love it here! I also have my own dogs who would love to keep your fur babies company if they want, but we do have ways to separate if needed. I have extra crates for pups who need/like that and lots of time to care for your dogs specific needs. We also live next to a park with a great walking trail and are located in a very safe neighborhood. We do have experience watching dogs with special needs. However, if your dog has pre-existing conditions or needs medication administered regularly, please put instructions in writing and have an emergency plan written out in their profile. We don’t mind helping, but want to be prepared to help in the best ways possible.
Reviews
My 2 dogs just had their second stay with Mel and it’s so nice to know our dogs are safe and happy when we go out of town!
Great dog caretaker! We didn’t have to worry about our dog while she stayed there.
Amazing ! Highly professional and very loving as well as caring for your fur baby! Will definitely be a returning and regular client :)
Mel was awesome. She watched our fur-baby Harley for 6 days while on vacation and Harley had a blast. Not once did I worry about anything. Mel loves every dog as if it were her own and knows them individually. Mel kept us updated with videos of Harley without even asking for them. I would defiantly recommend. Her place is perfect for dogs to run and play. Very communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable. We will definitely be coming back.

Safety, trust & environment
We take the safety of your pet seriously. Our fences are high and our gates stay locked! We feed all dogs separately, and do not share people food. All chemicals are locked away. We do not offer soft or rope toys for playing as some dogs tend to consume them. We do offer antlers, bones, and super-chewer toys to gnaw away at. Our kitchen is gated as well as our sleeping area so no dogs can sneak into areas and get into things. We keep making improvements as we see the need.

Information Mel L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dogs have any special needs or behavioral issues ahead of time as we can accommodate for those. Telling me more just helps the experience be better for everyone! Each dog has their own personality and experience so the more I know the better the stay will be. Also, I no longer take in tact males.
A typical day
We usually start our day around 6am in the hot months to get a few hours of play in before taking a little break inside. I have a doggie door that makes going in and out hassle free for everyone. In the summer we go swimming with the dogs in the afternoon. I do offer swimming lessons for free to your dog. It is great for their confidence! Lots of potty breaks and water during the day and never too dull around here. They always sleep very well at night.
