Empty Nest Animal Lover

We've always had fur babies until now. We had to let our last pet cross the rainbow bridge at 17 yrs old. We rescued him when he was 5. Such a sweet boy!! We've also had German Shepherds, a Beagle, Rabbits, and Guinea pigs. Experience with Puppies and Senior dogs. FYI--I tend to be a bit over protective. I was able to retire early, so I'm home ALOT! Home is my happy place. My husband of 31 yrs still works a few days a week but is also home often and loves animals. We have a fenced in backyard with grass areas, and a pool. I'm very protective and would take your baby out front on leash, and out back on leash or under strict supervision, whichever you dictate. We have a large front yard and side yard and live on a quiet dead end street which is perfect for walks. We also have a fairly large home where small dogs can get plenty of indoor exercise.

Melanie is a wonderful pet sitter and we are very pleased that we chose her to keep our dog for the week while we were away. She provided much love and care to our furry family member. We’ll definitely call upon her the next time we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend!

We love her! We just hope she doesn't book so much that she doesn't have time for Hershey when we need her.
