Pet care experience
Spent summer 2016 working at a pet food store, learning about pet health, nutrition, training, and general care. Included helping with pet washes, handling kittens, cats, and puppies for adoption, and watching dogs that customers brought in while shopping. I can identify the healthiest pet foods and treats based on your dog’s temperament, and know which kinds of products can resolve various health problems. Worked as a dog walker regularly 2013-present. Bonus: 10+ years of experience with cats and horses. This is my way of saying I will also take care of any cats (or horses, but that seems unlikely). I have also taken care of rats and hamsters. Total availability Friday-Sunday, available after 3 Tuesdays and Thursdays. After June 9, total availability 7 days a week.
Reviews
Melanie took very good care of Beau and our kitties. She is conscientious and responsible. I would definitely use her again.

Skills
Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet
Breeding should mean very little in regards to behavior compared to the effect of nurture on a dog, so most important for me to know is what kind of training in required for the dog, what they already have/have not learned, and obviously any health complications.
A typical day
I'm always looking for an opportunity to go to a dog park/beach, and will happily take the dog(s) for a walk to one of those destinations nearby. I also like to hike off of Empire Grade, along the train tracks, or just around the neighborhood. I'm usually pretty happy wherever I go as long as I'm with a dog.
