Safe & Engaging Experience

Pet care experience

I have been working closely with animals for over 6 years, from Petsmart to a family owned Grooming Salon and boarding center. Have a dog park near by? I am very comfortable keeping a close eye on your family member while letting them interact and socialize. I have been exposed to a wide variety of dogs and would love to be able to use my experience to create a safe, enjoyable experience for your pet! Is your pet not a social butterfly? We can explore the neighborhood. Studies show that allowing your pet to engage with different smells is just as mentally stimulating as physical activity. I can give your pet the extra time during the day to really focus in on smells all over town!

Melanie has been the most reliable and committed sitter we've ever had. She is punctual, and more importantly, always shows up with her "all in" positive attitude that is simply contagious!

She's very pleasant and always on time. Her customer serice skills are phenomenal, my dogs love her. They get so happy when she enters my house.

Information Melanie D. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know any hesitations your pet may be exhibiting lately. Fears change on a regular basis and keeping a close eye on what can be triggering for your pet help me create a safe and comforting experience for everyone involved.

A typical day

We will walk around the neighborhood: including to any beaches or parks that are animal friendly! I have experience supervising interactions between dogs and am adept at knowing the warning signs for an uncomfortable dog, so I can help socialize you pet in a safe manner.
