I’ll take your dog on adventures!

Pet care experience

I’m very detail oriented and personable. I love all dogs and want to make sure they get the love and care they need while you’re away! I’ve been around dogs for the past 4 years, mostly living with roommates who own dogs and taking care of them while they’re away. I’ve never had a dog myself but I hope to own one someday! I’m very passionate when caring for dogs and find them to be the best companions! I live in a house and even though my backyard isn’t very large, there are trails and fields close by! I love going on walks and playing with dogs. Any time I see a dog I’m elated! I hope to meet many dogs and learn as I go!

Melanie is great with dogs!. She is patient and kind. Melanie takes dogs for great walks, to parks that would interest the dogs. Melanie is calm and dogs seem drawn to her soft, patient approach. She is a reliable , on time person and would make the dogs feel safe and happy!! Lori. W.

Melanie has watched my dog a couple times while I’ve been out of town and I was so lucky to have her do so. My dog loves her energy and has so much fun with her. I never have to worry if my dog isn’t getting enough attention or love from Melanie. She has a wonderful sense of patience and will always be down to take my dog to a park or a long walk! She goes above and beyond for dogs and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a trusted dog walker.

A+++ Melanie is the only person I want taking care of my dog! Bark Twain is always very excited days he gets to see Mel. She is very responsible and eager to take care of him on days I cannot. He is always thoroughly pooped after her visits and would recommend her to anyone. Keep up the good work Mel!

Melanie is a responsible, caring, and reliable person that I would entrust any person’s dog with, including my own. She has good intuition when it comes to dogs and knows exactly what to do. I don’t ever have to worry when I leave my dog in her hands because I know she’ll take good care and love to my dog. I’ve seen her take gunk out of dogs eyes, care for elderly dogs and is not afraid to get dirty as long as the dog is happy. Her passion for dogs shows through her bubbly, fun personality. Any dog would be happy to have her in their life!
