Animal loving medical professional

Pet care experience

My name is Mel! I am an orthopedics PA. I recently relocated to Durango, and doing some rover while I wait for my hospital credentials to come through. While I work with humans, I definitely love animals more. I've taken care of pets since I was a young kid. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. I have two middle-aged dogs and one young cat. I know human medicine so that comes in handy with pets sometimes!

Melanie was awesome! She took excellent care of my dog, Tigger. She was very responsive with me and shared pictures of him daily. Melanie walked him and snuggled with him and attended to his every need. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Melanie knowing that he was in the best of care, and will definitely use her again if I have the opportunity:) Thank you Melanie for making Tigger a happy camper while I was away.

Melanie did an awesome job taking care of the dogs while we were out of town. Super excited with how she was able to get them up to the trails for exercise routinely. Quick response times. Professional. Kind. Happy to have her watch the dogs again anytime.

Melanie did such a great job caring for my pup, and I couldn't be more grateful! She sent me photos and videos while away and was super attentive to my dog's needs. She has two lovely dogs of her own, so it was nice to know that my dog could socialize as well. Melanie was also super quick to respond to messages which gave me peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again!
