Your dogs will be happy and safe!

Pet care experience

Thanks so much for giving my family the opportunity to be the “home away from home” for your precious pets! I am a 40+ year old married, stay-at-home mom with a 16 year old animal loving son and a husband that is in the medical field which is an added measure for health safety when dogs are staying at our home. We share our home with our two female Dachshunds that live for car rides. I am an active volunteer with the National Great Pyrenees Rescue and foster Great Pyrenees rescues so I am used to all types of behaviors/personalities with different dogs and helping them to all get along together under one roof, even if just temporarily. I have plenty of experience as well as good instincts and judgement where dogs are concerned; thanks to so many years of rescue work and a lifetime of having dogs in my home. I live in south Bossier in a small and quiet gated subdivision. I have 6 foot vinyl fencing around my backyard which provides a safe area for visiting dogs to be able to run around and play. We also have a small doggie door. My family does everything possible to make sure that every dog that comes to our home is comfortable and as happy as can be. They will get the run of the house and can lay/sleep anywhere that they want... just like our own dogs. We have plenty of toys, chews, and treats for our visiting dogs. At my house, we work together as a family to take the best care of your dogs because we know how much they mean to you- just like our dogs mean to us: they are our world! My husband is in the medical field so he is able to assist with any special needs that a visiting dog may have and my 15 year old son has plenty of energy that helps with keeping dogs entertained while in our home.

Luna loved her weekend stay with Mrs. Melanie. I received tons of pictures and positive feedback on how Luna was doing. I will definitely use her again.

Melanie was awesome!!! It was my standard poodle Panda’s first time ever to board and I was nervous about it. We had a meet n greet a few days prior and Panda loved it! She loved playing with Mack the GP. She was well taken care of and I got updates often. Definitely will use Melanie again!!!!

**Exceptional dog sitting experience with Melanie!!** Leaving my dogs in someone else’s care can be a nerve-wracking experience, but with Melanie I have complete peace of mind that my boys are well loved and looked after. From the start, her friendly and caring demeanor put me at ease. She took the time to truly understand my dogs personalities, quirks, and preferences to deliver personalized attention throughout. She provides outstanding communication and updates and is genuine in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie to anyone in need of top-notch dog sitting!

Melanie is fantastic. She took in our 10 yo lab and treated him like he was apart of her family. It was a last minute booking and she was very accommodating. We will be using her services again!

Information Melanie C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has any aggressive tendencies (such as food aggression) or any resource guarding tendencies (protective over toys or other items). How well do they get along with other dogs? I do not have a preference for breed, size, or gender as long as my safety or the safety of my dogs (and your dogs!) is factored in. My goal is for all of the dogs to be happy and comfortable while at my house.

A typical day

We have a small and safe subdivision with sidewalks so it is a great area to walk dogs. Our Dachshunds love to chase leaves and look for non-existent squirrels in our backyard. Visiting dogs really like hanging with them and being part of the “pack”. They also get plenty of snuggle time if they want and we always have plenty of dog treats and toys as well!
