Pet care experience
I've lived a life surround by animals and caring for them, this includes both dogs and cats. We loved our Shi Tzu Charlie for 12 years before he crossed the rainbow bridge, he lived a life full of cuddles, belly rubs, walks, play time and good couch naps. I remember how hard it was to find a place (person) to care for him when he couldnt be with me, so now I am opening my heart and home to families experiencing the same challenge. He had a heart condition, so I am familiar with giving meds and watching for the signs of a senior pet needing a break.
Reviews
Melanie took great care of our Frenchie, Moose! He is a senior guy and she gave him lots of love and provided us with great updates. He had a great time and you can tell she truly cares about the pets she takes care of. Would highly recommend Melanie! She goes above and beyond!
Melanie was an absolute gem! Her updates and care truly exceeded my expectations. It was clear that my puppy was happy and well taken care of in Melanie's hands. I can't thank Melanie enough for providing such a positive experience for both Leia and me. If you're looking for someone who is not only reliable but also genuinely loves dogs, Melanie is the one to go to. Thank you, Melanie, for being so wonderful!
Melanie was great taking care of honey. She is a high energy puppy and we will definitely book again soon!
Melanie and her family provided excellent care for my worried pup. Melanie communicated quickly and provided photos and a video while my dog was with her for a couple of days. Having the yard and ball play helped her adjust, as did the gentle care. I appreciate my dog could sleep on the bed and as much as possible things were the same as at home. We will definitely have Brinley stay with Melanie again. Thank you.

I am blessed to have a large, fully fenced in yard. Plenty of room for your dog to enjoy a good 'sniffari'. Pets are welcome on the furniture (of course no chewing or clawing), and I am happy to make accommodations as needed and agreed upon (ei: close bathroom doors, because they like to steal toilet paper rolls ;) Cats will have plenty of places for their privacy, quiet zones and when they are ready ; plenty of pets.

Information Melanie D. would like to know about your pet
If possible, lets connect before confirming a booking to make sure we are a fit! I truly love all animals, and dont have a lot of deal breakers - but would be interested in knowing more about how your pet likes to be loved. I am open to learning your pets unique needs and making sure their stay feels like home. If your doggo is not fully house trained, perhaps a puppy or little that uses pee pads - do let us know. We are happy to work with you, just prefer not to have the ‘surprises’ As mentioned, I work from home on a varied schedule of on line meetings. When booking I always ensure that drop off and pick up times leave my schedule open to ensure we are not rushed. If your schedule changes and you are not able to drop off or pick up on time, just let me know so that I can try to adjust as well :)
A typical day
We have a large enough yard to play fetch, run off some zoomies or explore. Its a wonderful mature family neighborhood with quiet streets to take for a nice long walk, or even a quick short one. There are plenty of squirrels to bark at from the sliding door :) Lets talk about what your doggo needs and see what we can make happen!

Availability
I work full time from home, and a typical day has me on a varied schedule of on line meetings. Pets are welcome to roam the house, work with me in the office or nap wherever they like. Weekends can sometimes be a little busier with the typical household routines, but pets would never be left alone.
