Vibrant artist that loves animals!

Pet care experience

Hello there all, My name is Mo and I have 15+ years of pet care experience. My original field is child care and youth development, but I fell in love with dog sitting once one of the families I nannied for decided to get a new, fluffy addition to the family. I have the ability to care for several dogs at one time and I do not mind assisting in potty training and behavioral training. Helping people and animals is my calling. I spend ample time outdoors. Walking, hiking and bike riding can all be infused into my care for any animal. I am flexible when it comes to the wants and needs of not only the dog, but of the owner as well. A parent should always feel 100% secure when leaving you with their child. And I guarantee that you will.

My 7 month puppy Willie had a great time with Melanie! Melanie sent updates of the walks they were going on.

I would recommend Melanie to anyone and everyone! She is so accommodating and quick to respond! Her love for animals certainly doesn’t hurt either, you can really tell how good of care your pet is in with her!!!

No breed preferences. I'd just appreciate knowing allergies, potty/eating schedule and that's about it. I would also need to know of any special diets or special medications!

I'm close to a park that my pooch loves personally, so we will for sure go there! There's also tons to get into in the neighborhood+ the community garden down the street.
