Love all animals
Pet care experience
I have worked as a veterinary assistant for 9 years, both large and small animals. I have volunteered at animal shelters when I can. I have personally owned small dogs, at 5 lbs, all the way up to large dogs, up to 201lbs, cattle, horses, chickens, goats, pigs, geckos and Im sure I'm missing others. I am not afraid of any animal, I respect all walks. I have rescued and rehabed dogs and kittens and still own one of the kittens I saved from death at a week old and he is now 8. I enjoy pets so being able to meet new breeds and crosses is always something I have enjoyed. I also know how difficult it is to sometimes give your pets attention, so I'd like to offer my time to help others keep their kids happy and healthy. My Chihuahua had congestive heart failure so her medicine was very important to be given in a timely matter and I am able to handle medications. I enjoy training dogs, as well as horses. I find it rewarding to watch their minds grow. I am available as needed and I am able to make multiple visits within a day if needed. If a pet needed medication at certain times or fed, I would adjust my routine for the pet. I have my pets on a routine. I know how important it is to some of them to be fed at certain times or to go out. I care for the pets as if they were my own, and I understand that no two animals are alike in the care that they need or want. I try and make the animals not miss their owners too much.
Reviews
Melana was amazing with our two fur babies. She loved on them and is a true dog lover . She was willing to take on our big and little. . Her yard was fenced in with a tall sturdy fence and the house was very puppy to dog safe. Would definitely recommend to friends and family traveling through Hot Springs. ❤️❤️❤️
Oreo had a wonderful stay at Melana’s. She was also able to take Oreo in such a short notice (2 hours)! She sent a lot of updates even though Oreo’s stay wasn’t very long, which I appreciate very much! Oreo had a lot of fun playing with her dogs and running in a spacious backyard. Thank you Melana for taking care of Oreo!
Melana took great care of my babies. She was very easy to communicate with and kept me updated. This was my first rover experience and won’t be my last. I will use Melanas services in the future and recommend to my friends. She has a nice home and treats your babies like her own. She accommodated my dogs with very short notice.
Melana was absolutely the best in caring for our sweet puppy. Great accommodations and communication. We will be back soon.

Information Melana K. would like to know about your pet
It would be nice to know if the pets had any quirks. Some dogs don't like bicycles or large crowds, so I would avoid any situation that the pet didn't desire. On the flip side it would be good to know what the pet really enjoys certain toys or activities. And if there is any aggression towards other dogs, children, cats or any other animals. Also if there are any medical conditions, allergies, or ailments, I need to know about.
A typical day
Depending on the pet I can do hikes that are 8 miles. I can take them swimming or just play fetch in the yard, tug of war, or belly rubs and snuggles. My dogs enjoy the trails out at Lake Catherine or visits to Atwoods or Petsmart. I'll also do drives and stop for pup cups if that is something they enjoy.
