Dogs Best Life with Comfort & TLC

Pet care experience

I have been an experienced dog handler and caretaker for the past 25 years. I’ve trained my own dogs, with lots of TLC and fun! I’m currently available for dog boarding in my home. (I can crate dogs if necessary.) This includes play time, food, treats and walks. Along with lots of pets and TLC. 🐾🐾🐾 I have one dog myself, Tucker. She gets along with all dogs and has a backyard to share for potty and play time. Crating is available if needed. Everyone that meets Tucker loves her.

Melanie has belonged to the same dog training club as me for several years training her own dog over this time. She is a responsible pet owner and enjoys being around other peoples dogs as well. Melanie personally, is a reliable and responsible person who I worked with professionally for over 25 years. I would be completely comfortable leaving my 2 dogs with her if there was ever a need.

Melanie B. Is a kind,loving and patient pet parent. Her dog Tucker is the best behaved dog I’ve ever known. She completely trained her after she adopted her. If dogs can be polite, Tucker is the best example. For example, I was dog sitting her for a weekend and it was raining outside so she naturally got her paws full of mud in the backyard. Before I let her race through the house, I just told her “stop “you need to wash your feet. So she followed me in the bathroom and as soon as she heard the water running in the bathtub she jumped right in and just stood there waiting for me to wash her paws! Melanie did this… She’d be a great dog trainer if she ever took that route but she loves animals and I can think of no better person that would be in charge of someone’s pet while they are out. I have known Melanie both professionally and on a personal basis for 30 years. She will always be professional and she will always be good to and for animals, with an emphasis on dogs.

I've know Melanie for several years since we took dog training classes at Car Dun al with her dog Tucker. Tucker is well trained and has taken several obedience classes and has her AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate/title. Melanie is/was a member of Car Dun Al dog Training and has volunteered in puppy training classes and AKC trials. Melanie is a caring and trustworthy and is wonderful with dogs. I'd trust her to care for my dog anytime. She'd be an asset to the ROVER TEAM.
