Full-time playmate and companion

Pet care experience

I have three dogs living with me and two cats. For 4 years, I've been in charge of bathing, feeding, and walking/exercising them. Two are very large Pit bull mixes and one is a small Yorkshire Terrier, so I get work well with dogs of all sizes. I enjoy playing and exercising with dogs more than anything and my 5 acres provide plenty of space for all their energy to be used up. I've been caring for our cats since they were kittens as well. The cats do not stay in the house, they are kept in the garage away from the big dogs. I've been pet-sitting/house-sitting for 3+ years and always send pictures/videos of pets to the owners for reassurance! To me, your pets are like family and I will do anything I can to make the experience away from their owners as comforting as possible! Overall nature & animal lover. :)

Melanie boarded my pit bull puppy two months ago and sent me the most adorable pictures of my baby each day and night. She's the sweetest, most down-to-earth young woman I've met. She's very mature for her age so don't let that throw you off. She's the best dog sitter I've had yet and somehow she manages to get the most beautiful photos of animals.

A typical day

I have plenty of dog toys, frisbees, and bouncy balls for playtime with dogs that are boarded in my home, along with 5 acres of run-around space. We have two houses on our land so if you feel unsure about your dog staying around other dogs we can separate them between the houses and make sure they go outside at different times. (However, none of our dogs are aggressive)
