Animal lover, fenced yard, active
Pet care experience
I love spending time with animals! I have a dog and four cats of my own, and I volunteer with animals at local shelters. I also helped start a local rescue and served on the board and as a foster for multiple years. I have an active lifestyle and love incorporating our visiting dogs into those activities, such as walks, runs, and spending time outdoors. I have experience with all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments of dogs, as well a lot of experience dispensing medications. My own dog is 130 pounds and epileptic. While his seizures are currently under control, I spent many years giving him various medications up to five times a day. I’ve done pills, liquids, powders, insulin, and more. My husband and I both work full time, but our schedules are flexible. We have a full house, but all our animals are incredibly welcoming and friendly with new visitors, people and pets alike. I love to send lots of picture updates while sitting because I love picture updates when I’m away. I’m super flexible, easy to work with, and eager to get to know your furry family members!
Reviews
Picked up a very happy and well cared for dog. Loved seeing pictures while were gone too.
Melanie and Ethan watched our Goldendoodle puppy for our first trip since bringing her home. Melanie sent plenty of pictures, was so easy to chat with, and made us so confident and comfortable leaving our little girl with her!
Kirby felt right at home! Great job and thanks!!
Melanie did a fantastic job and our boys loved her! Above all the routine things she played with them, snuggled them and sent us pictures of them! She stayed in contact with us throughout her stay and left us with a worry free feeling while we were out of town! We definitely recommend Melanie and will use her again to watch our boys!

I like to walk around my neighborhood by Scoville Zoo and around the lake. I love to go for runs and enjoy having a companion if they are able, and love spending time running around my fenced in backyard.
