Dogs LOVE it here!

Pet care experience

I did foster care for several puppies at a time for the whole year of 2013. I adopted one of those puppies. He is super friendly, probably due to always having new puppies come in our home. He is now 3 years, almost 4. He loves to welcome other dogs into his home. I also have a cat that is totally stuck up and barely seen. I have a fenced in yard that is 10,000. I have an almost 11 yr old son that loves animals. We would love to care for your dog in our home while you are away. About this sitter: I am an ex-social worker by trade; full-time mom now. I have rescued a stray kitten from my neighborhood. He was only 1 1/2 weeks old when found. I did foster care for puppies for a year, which is how I ended up adopting one of them. I have a son, a cat and a dog, all male. They are all well cared for and well loved, but know who the momma of the house is. I will care for and love your dog as well during it's stay with us. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs all my life. Animals love me, as if they know I love them. Meet my pets I have 1 dog and 1 cat. The cat is a house cat. Both animals were rescued. My cat is stuck up and will hide. my dog is 3 1/2 yrs old. He loves to play! With the cat, with himself, with his stuffed animals, the cat's kitty condo, other dogs, he doesn't care. he just wants to play! Be happy! and Be loved! And they both are.... Not just by me but also my son. My yard is 10, 000 sq ft, enclosed. The design of the yard is rather different in design and allows for much exploration. About my yard I have a 10, 000 sq. ft lot, with two houses on it. I live in an apartment above garage. There is a front yard and 2 different back yards, which makes it fun for dogs to explore. My experience administering medication yes, very! UPDATE: I just want to apologize to my regulars and anyone reading my profile. I broke my ankle pretty badly, so I took a brake without notice; just as I was given....Tehe!!! It has been a long journey but I am back and am more than capable to meet your doggie sitting needs! Please contact me here at Rover, if you're interested in learning more or meeting me.

Melanie is great! She is very accommodating and communicative. Every time I get close to her house with my pup and he realizes where we're going, he gets so excited he runs circles in the back of my car, poking his nose at the window, eager to get out and play.

I just pick up my dogs from Melanie's home, she is the best when it comes to take care dogs, they were happy and with her friendly dog of her own the fun for my dogs was great. I will do it again. Thank you Melany for your care.
