Active, animal-loving family!

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life and have experience taking care of pets with special needs. I have experience working with limited mobility dogs and a lot of experience with administering medications. I am a very active person and enjoy taking my dog for long runs/hikes. We have a fenced backyard that backs up to a green belt and lots of parks close by. Our shepherd gets along with most other dogs and enjoys having another dog around. We do have a three year old son at home so dogs must be okay around children and we would require an introduction before any overnights were accepted. All of us here love animals and treat the dogs who stay here as one of the family.

Melanie took the time before our vacation dates to make sure our dog's stay would be successful: our dog met both her dog and her family and spent just a bit of time with each. And when it was time for our dog's stay -- she was treated as part of their family. It was great - just what we wanted! I would recommend Melanie.

Melanie took good care of my pups over 4th of July weekend. When I picked them up they were tired and happy - which is saying a lot for my 1 year old GSD! She sent pictures and videos and I was never once worried about my dogs. I would have them stay there again.

Melanie is an excellent dog sitter who goes the extra mile to make sure the pets are happy and healthy. She gives great updates with pictures of my dog’s stay and let me know when my pooch had some inflammation in her ear, taking her to the vet and helping to get her back up and running when I was out of town.

Again, Melanie did a great job watching my husky! Really appreciate her scheduling flexibility and highly recommend!

Information Melanie B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the breed and temperament. I have a male German shepherd that other dogs would have to get along with.

A typical day

I enjoy taking my dog to the dog parks around town and will do the same for yours if desired. I can also run either short or long distances with you dog to help burn off some extra energy.
