Pet care experience

Comfortable, Caring, and Fun!

I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life. My partner and I also assisted with running a rescue for a number of years and fostered many dogs that would otherwise be euthanized, many unsocialized. We have two dogs of our own currently. We can only take large dogs at this time unfortunately and only one dog at a time. I have experience with training dogs as well as training in animal behavior.

Melanie and David provided excellent care of our dog Clover. Melanie was very responsive to messages and particularly understanding of Clover's fear of loud noises. Will definitely use her again in the future

Melanie would make a fantastic pet sitter! She loves animals so much she chose a career that benefits wildlife. I've seen Melanie foster many dogs , including ones with special needs or ones that experienced high levels of trauma. Dogs like that require incredible amounts of patience and love. Melanie has 3 dogs herself that she cares very much for. She also had a cat that lived a long time. The ages of her pets and their good health is testament to a caring owner who keeps up on veterinary appointments and takes it seriously that pets are a lifelong commitment. Melanie herself is a fun, friendly person who both you and your pets will love!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to discuss and what type of care you would like for your dog. Would prefer to do a meet and greet with our dog ahead of time and make sure I understand your needs and more about your furbaby.
