Pets

I’m an animal lover

Pet care experience

I have 2 dogs. A Labmix and Siberian Husky. I have taken care of my dogs since they were puppies. We love to play and go for long walks, sit around, relax and do tricks for fun. The care I provide will depend on the dog’s needs. I am willing to work with any dogs. I’m calm around dogs. I knows what dogs think before they do. I know what they would want. Knowing when they don’t want to be bothered is a key factor in caring for dogs. You want to build trust so you’ll be able to form that unbreakable bond. I’m firm when my dogs want something that they know they should not have. I can be reliable when needed the most. I can travel to you when needed. Also I just genuinely love animals.

Melanie took excellent care of our pets and our home while we were away. She was very patient with our animals even with their difficult personalities. We would love to have her sit for us again!

Melanie did a great job! She watched our puppy and house for a whole week! She kept our new puppy on his demanding schedule and gave us updates every day. We are very thankful for her help.

Melanie was amazing! She was super nice and professional. She sent tons of pictures and videos of our pups while she was watching them. She played with them and even took them on walks around the neighborhood! We will most definitely be reaching out to her first if we need our pups watched again.
