Hands-On Dog LOVER!

Pet care experience

I have had a dog or babysat our grand puppies for 30 years! Dogs bring me JOY!!! I LOVE to spend time with them walking, cuddling, and playing.

Melanie is wonderful to work with! She took great care of our senior dog and was flexible with our changing plans. We trusted her in our home and would absolutely work with her again!

Melanie and Mark provided the highest level of care for our two pups during a short weekend visit. They asked all of the right questions before the visit, which gave us confidence that we were leaving our dogs in good hands, They sent pics and updated us during the dogs’ stay. We returned to very happy pups who were reluctant to leave Melanie and Mark. We will gladly trust our dogs to Melanie and Mark again.
