I’ll treat your baby like my own

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with animals and have taken care of my own for years. Family and friends have entrusted me with their dogs and cats, even having provided shots, medicine and applying ointment for their welfare.

Our dogs love Melanie and we love having someone who we know and trust care for the pups! Melanie is flexible and accommodating and has made a very positive impact on our lives. 🐾

Melanie (Aka Ollie’s girlfriend) is our hero…she has been calm and patient with my little but timid rescue, and 90 days later, I see a huge difference in him! Thank you for making a difference in our lives!!

This is old, but I never left a review … Melanie seemed very sweet and my pets seemed to enjoy her at the meet n greet. She was responsive when I reached out and, as far as I know, had no issues. The bizarre part is when I returned home it was absolutely freezing outside and she had all the windows and doors open and inside it was 49 degrees. I had a cat dying with cancer at the time who I don’t know ever fully recovered. Melanie said the “heat never worked” , but I can’t understand why should wouldn’t have asked and more importantly why she would have all the windows and doors open when it was 24 degrees outside. She was also running the vacuum , but it was upstairs and there was dust from the vacuum all over the floor downstairs, which I also never quite figured out why. Finally she left her intimate laundry in my washing machine and never came to get it only to send aggressive messages about a month later looking for it. Very confusing all around.

I’m happy to stick to your routine or suggestions for your pet to feel comfortable with me, whether it’s crating overnight, spending some quality time or a particular walking route.

Information Melanie E. would like to know about your pet

Keeping a consistent routine is of course important for everybody and for me that includes feeding, walking, quality time, even knowing their ‘tells’ for needing to go potty helps. Other than that, it would be the obvious, likes and dislikes, triggers or calm down methods, unique qualities that make your dog special!

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs to stimulate their mind but also for ones with higher energy, long walks are my favorite. Let me know what tricks they do or you want them to learn and I’m happy to practice and reinforce training.
