Dog Trainer and Groomer

Pet care experience

Experience: I've groomed and trained dogs for over 10 years now, and I'm also very experienced with other animals such as cats and small animals (chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats). I care for any and all dogs! If your dog is problematic with strangers we can arrange a meet and greet and plan accordingly. Medication administration: Yes, show me ahead of time, write down dosage, time of day administered, and which dog(s) or cat(s) receive medication. Grooming Services: I offer mobile dog grooming services, so if at the end of the visit you would like me to get your pups all cleaned up we can discuss that at the meet and greet. IN-HOUSE ANIMALS: Vary, we do social and solo care. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I absolutely love all animals, and understand every one is an individual, meaning they need individualized care. I’m a flexible easy going person, so just talk with me and we can come to a solution that works for everyone.

I’ve used Melanie before and recommended her to family because she does such an awesome job! She’s so good at keeping me updated and always responds quickly when I reach out to her. I will Continue to ask her first to take care of our home and animals for as long as she’s in this line of work!

Melanie was absolutely wonderful! She was very thorough in her visit before we left. She sent lots of updates, photos and videos. My animals needed extra care with medicine and separation anxiety and she handled it all in a professional manner. She was fun and loving with the animals. She worked hard to understand their unique personalities. She sought to connect with each one. This isn't just a job for her. She loves and cares for the animals as if they were her own. Very, very trustworthy!

Melanie was wonderful with our dog. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and knew how to approach our Border Collie. We look forward to having her back.

Typically I will stay overnight into early morning. I will stop in a few times a day and I enjoy sending pics and videos of your pets, so expect a ton of pics of your kiddos 🥰

Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet

If they have medications, let me know what they are on, how many times a day and what medium they will take it in. I love all breeds of dogs. Please inform me of any behavioral tendencies prior to a reservation. I am a trainer so I’m not opposed to aggressive or high anxiety dogs, but I like to be aware and informed so I can approach the situation appropriately.

A typical day

I will cater to each individual dog as need be. If a dog wants to go for a walk, I would be happy to accommodate. If they prefer to hang out on the couch, I’m also up for it!
