Stay at home mom and pet lover!

Grew up in a home filled with animals, 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a bird! Dogs have a special place in my heart and home. Adult experience with puppies, kittens, seniors, medication giving, lizards and chickens. My prices are set for my compensation AFTER Rover takes their 20%. I know it is higher than others but I can promise your animal will be treated as if it were my own. I will go the extra mile for you and your fur baby!

Melanie is very detailed, quick, and truly kind. She really went the extra mile and I am so appreciative!! We are lucky we had a chance to book with her.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 10, 2026

Melanie, her doggies, and her family are the best! Loretta can be a little shy at first - but quickly became a part of the crew and had had fun everyday playing with her new friends. Melanie and her whole family made Loretta feel right at home. We felt good leaving her knowing that she would be spending all day running around outside and playing with buddies, or finding a cozy spot to sleep in the sun on their beautiful deck. We highly recommend Melanie and will totally reach out again the next time we find ourselves in the area.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 30, 2026

Melanie was so great and helped out when I was in town visiting relatives. We were able to go out and enjoy Camden and get some dinner and I knew that he was in good hands. He hopped up in the car, tired and happy. Would absolutely recommend! Thanks, Melanie

Melanie was a great substitute mom to my fur babies! She was great to work with, easy to communicate with, and perfectly attentive to my kitties. Thank you Melanie!

Dog Walking • Sep 27, 2024

I think that my dog Elsa can sense Melanie's love for dogs. During our earlier meet and greet, Elsa, a fairly shy dog, seemed comfortable with Melanie, going back to her for treats and pets. For this visit, Melanie showed up right on time, followed the plan we talked about, gave updates with photos, and gave a great, informative summary of the visit. We've rarely had carers/sitters for my dog, so I was very happy to see that Elsa seemed relaxed and calm when I got home. I would highly recommend Melanie with the experience and sense of responsibility she brings to the work. Thanks Melanie!

Schedule

I’m a stay at home wife and mother. My schedule is very flexible. My children are both in school so I have a lot of the middle of the day completely to myself (and my pets)

A typical day

We make sure to spend plenty of time outside, and I’ve got two lovely decks to enjoy. There’s one up top, bathed in sunshine with a nice shade option and a gate to keep everyone safe. The other deck is all shaded and has access to the dog-friendly pool! Many of my regulars really enjoy using the pool on those hot summer days!
