Melanie was quick to respond and very helpful as I had to book a last minute dog sitter. She made the process and breeze and was very flexible and accommodating. She took really good care of my dog and I will 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Another carefree trip to California knowing my two Fur Children were being well taken care of. Melanie communicates quickly and her pictures of Franklin and Gemma when she visits assures me all is well. They have bonded with Melanie as I have!! THANK YOU. I highly recommend Melanie for anytime, (except when I need her services) :-)

Melanie was kind with my 2 dogs and patient. She was flexible and even accepted a last minute extension. I will definitely recommend and will be requesting her services for drop ins again.

Melanie was great! She took great care of my cats while we were away. We came back to happy kitties, and I didn’t have to stress while on vacation.

Schedule

When I’m not at the animal hospital I love to still spend time with some dogs when I’m off to help make a little extra money since my love for animals goes beyond the limits.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Melanie can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I would love to know a dog’s demeanor before hand with new people just so I know how to properly introduce myself to them. I always know how to safely handle fearful dogs.
