Compassionate and friendly petcare!

Pet care experience

What can I say, I love dogs!!! Iv'e been around dogs my whole life, beginning with my Husky that loved chaperoning me around our backyard when I was a baby. I'm very grateful to have the experience with a dog since youth! I was raised around other animals too, bunnies, mice, and hamsters. Lol but I bond especially well with dogs. I hope to make new memories with your pet if you choose me!

We had to find a last minute sitter and Mel was there to rescue. Hatty loved staying with Mel. Very easy to communicate. We highly recommend Mel and Hatty is definitely looking forward to staying with Mel again.

Information Mel W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviorial needs to accommodate them in the best way I can. Do they have seperation anxiety or anything specific to be aware of? It helps me be aware of any sensitivies so they are at ease.

A typical day

We go for walks often. My apartment has a beautiful courtyard, there are a lot of trees and grassy areas. If your dog is comfortable I like to go to Frank Ortiz dog park with them so they can run around and play the other dogs! Depending on how active your dog is I enjoy rides to Hyde State Park, nature walks and strolls, and any other mini adventures with your dog
