Pet care experience

WFH with a large fenced yard

I work from home and have a large backyard, so your pets will be well taken care of with space to spare. My family rescued tons of dogs and cats growing up, I’ve shared my life with my own for 15 years. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish so I can communicate with your pet in either.

This was our second booking, and once again we’re very pleased. Ivy was well cared for, communication was great, and everything felt easy and stress‑free. Thank you for being so dependable.

Melanie was great for our Moose! She was very responsive, and made sure she knew his routine. Would book again!

Melanie did a great job! Lots of updates and we could tell our pups were comfortable, safe and happy. We live out of town but will be rebooking anytime we fly out of clt!

Pets

A typical day

Early morning- outside time for stretching and potty, followed by a walk around the neighborhood, and breakfast (if needed). I settle in for work and provide several potty breaks. Afternoon- outside playtime and enrichment sessions. This can include things like playing fetch or puzzle toys. Evening- outside play. After dinner settles we go for a walk around the neighborhood before settling in for the night with potty breaks in the yard in between.
