Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Melanie. I love dogs and would love to help care for yours! I grew up with 2 beautiful Samoyeds and a friendly little Shih Tzu Poodle. I’m a very active person and would love to play with your dog and take them on walks. I recently received a master's degree in mental health counseling, and I’m passionate about forming meaningful relationships and connections as well as and providing quality care. My passion for care and connection will be there for your loved furry companion.

Melanie was awesome!!! We highly recommend her for your fur babies! She was very professional, kind, considerate and responsible. She took excellent care of our two large doodles and our home, as she stayed at our home 5days and 5nights. She arrived as agreed and fed them their raw diet, responsibly. She sat with them outside regularly and cuddled with them in the evening. We really appreciated her excellent communication and attention to detail. She sent us photos of our two pups with a quick text of how well they were doing, every morning and night. This gave us great comfort and peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more, knowing they were well cared for. When we got home our home looked just as we left it. She was very clean and neat and cared of our home as well!

Melanie was exactly what we and the kids needed. To lay back in a hotel room and relax while we went out to dinner with the family.

I can’t think of anyone with a deeper love of dogs than my daughter, Melanie. I’m really excited to hear that she’s found a job opportunity where she can do her two favorite things ever – which is to spend quality time with dogs while providing top-notch and reliable customer service! If your beloved pooch is in need of a human friend to come over to feed, walk, hug and love and play with them while you’re away, Melanie won’t let you down.
