Safety, trust & environment

My boxer is kennel trained, it is his safe space. He eats in there and sleeps in there when we leave the house(he likes to get into things). My pittie free roams the house, she is the princess. Both of our dogs are wonderful with kids, we have a young kid in the home who is able to command them with no issue. While working at the boarding facility I have worked with police K9 dogs, Great Danes, livestock dogs all the way to tea cup chihuahuas. I do not restrict on any breed of animals!

Melanie was super easy to work and schedule with! She was super communicative and provided regular doggy updates while I was gone. She left my house clean as a button too. 10/10!! Thank you!

Book Melanie! I think this is about my fourth experience on the app and while most of them have been decent for the most part, this was by far the best. It’s very clear Melanie has a a lot of knowledge about animals. She has been the most communicative person I have worked with and is extremely quick in her communication, which I appreciate so much. Melanie sent us a ton of pictures & you can just tell that she authentically loves animals. We will absolutely be booking her again!

Melanie was wonderful with my dogs. She sent me photos and videos of their visit together. She eased any of my concerns as my dogs have special needs. My dogs absolutely love her. I highly recommend her to watch your pets!

Melanie is amazing with dogs. She seems to connect and bond with dogs naturally, like a second nature. She follows instructions on how I like my pets cared for, plus the updates she sends me rocks. Always willing to be communicative when it comes to my animals.

Melanie has always been so patient and caring towards animals. She understands that each animal has different needs and wants, I fully trust Melanie with my animals while I am away. She takes the cutest videos and pictures of my pets, plus her communication is on point helping put my mind at ease knowing they are being so well taken care of!

Melanie is such a great pet sitter! I have two reactive dogs with special accommodations. Melanie has always been so patient with them, and follows all instructions given to a T. She always plays with dogs and keeps them happy when I’m away, helping to reduce their anxieties. She has always given me updates and sent me photos or videos while I’m away. She is very responsible, flexible and caring towards animals. I never worry when my pets are in her care.

Let me know about your dog’s behavior, the more detailed the better! What they do and don’t like. Specific spots where they liked to be pet versus don’t like to be petted. Any sort of signs of food aggression(I’ve worked with this kind of dog behavior before). Any aggression towards people or other animals etc.
