A happy pet is a happy pet parent

Pet care experience

Looking to stay active and explore with your lovely pets! Previous experience: I was a mommy to a pitbull, Ivy, who I brought home at 3 weeks old. We would go on, a minimum, of 3 walks a day. This ultimately taught me how to walk with a big dog who always wanted to lead the way. Ivy was not fond of the rain, so I also learned how to understand when she was uncomfortable in certain environments. In the last 5 years, I’ve walked and boarded several pets— looking forward to meeting yours! I have every-other Friday off and weekends, open for boarding! Can do house visits any day of the week as well, preferably early morning or late afternoon visits. Live in an apartment but I have patio access for some outside time, as well as plenty of trails nearby! I have a truck so they will be comfortable with any commutes if we drive (upon your approval).

It was the second time our cat stayed at Mel’s house. Our cat LOVES her. Mel always sends me daily pictures and updates. Her room is super clean and minimalistic. I had no worries about his stay. Thank you so much!!!

Highly recommended! My dog seemed very at ease with Mel and Mel was very communicative and easy to work with.

Mel communicated regularly and replied to my messages quickly. My dog was very relaxed and happy around her. She also took him on plenty of walks. I would recommend Mel! I plan to book with her again.

Information Mel M. would like to know about your pet

Do they have little quirks such as nibbling? Do they have a tendency to run off? I am open to working with them as much as possible!

A typical day

I am willing to drive them to parks or just stay local if you are more comfortable with that. If the dog is active, I typically go on runs/play with them to help them get nice and mellow.
