Pet care experience

I am a very caring and loving animal lover! I have had animals pretty much my entire life, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pig, rabbits etc., I have had them all. They all bring so much joy and happiness and I would be happy to care for yours. My home is quiet and smoke free. I do have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in where they are safe. I lost my sweet boy a few years ago so currently my house house does not have any pets. I am available most weekends and would love to help you out. I am available for meet and greets and will do my best to make your pet comfortable and happy while they are in my home.

Melanie took good care of our pup! While there wasn't much communication throughout the week, I didn't mind. I was confident Missi was okay with Melanie.

Melanie was fantastic. She's great with dogs and provided my pug with a safe, quiet, and loving place to spend time while we were away traveling. Melanie was also very accommodating, adjusting our pickup schedule due to a flight delay. Piper, our pug, returned home happy and well-cared for. Thank you!

We really enjoyed working with Melanie. She was wonderful with Seeger and we will definitely be contacting her for our next week-end excursion!

Melanie took great care of Mowgli. This was our first time, but after the meet and greet, we were extremely comfortable dropping off Mowgli under Melanie’s care. Melanie accepts only one client at a time and is available to provide 121 attention and care for Mowgli. Great location, beautiful and safe home and most importantly a very kind and caring person to take care of our fur baby. I will definitely recommend Melanie to all pet parents. Thank you Melanie!
