I love dogs! I have one myself!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs my entire life and learned at a young age about the responsibilities that come with owning a dog. I previously worked as a pet sitter for three months through a company and also worked as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital so I'm well versed with dogs and their different sizes and needs. I like to run through what the client expects first and meet the dog or dogs so that I become acquainted while the dog feels comfortable. I'm flexible with dates and times and love all dogs! I do have a full time job but my weekends are available and I can visit after work as well. I have my own car so I have reliable transportation and I don't shy away from making sure the dog's needs are being met.
Reviews
Very reliable care. I appreciate the last-minute assistance after another sitter arranged for this day was canceled. Great communication. I appreciate the photos.
Melanie watched our two goldens and was wonderful! She sent us pictures and the dogs seemed very happy. We will definitely be using her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I like making sure the dogs are keeping with their regular routine like with their family! I do like having things written out so I can refer to it for any questions I may have.
Information Melanie C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dog's regular schedule so that I can try my best to stick with the schedule so the dog doesn't feel more stressed. I would like to know their behavior with other dogs, people, and children so I'm well prepared on walks outside. I would also like to know if the dog has any allergies or medications as well as the local veterinary clinic's number.
A typical day
I will take the dogs on walks and play fetch with them in the backyard. If it's okay I would love to give the dog treats for good behavior too. We can have couch time together too with lots of cuddles!
