Pet care experience

Home full-time. Dogs make me happy

I am a true dog lover and a mom to 3 fur-kids in addition to my 2 teenage human ones. Since leaving my full-time job, my dogs have been my life. I have 3 rescue dogs, each with his own distinct personality and needs. My oldest dog has a history of epilepsy, but with treatment he has been seizure-free for 6 years. My middle boy is strong-willed. My third is just a puppy. He is very skittish around new people. I love working daily on these challenges and watching their continued growth. Spending time with dogs is what truly makes me happy. I am always researching pet nutrition and pride myself on making their lives as happy as they make mine. I am experienced at giving medication. I am also experienced with walking several dogs at once.

Melanie always takes good care of our girls. Our dog is 14 and needs a little extra and Melanie goes beyond expected.

Melanie is so reliable and caring towards our pets, cat and elderly dog, I never have to worry when we're away. She's great with communicating too. Thanks for another great service!

Excellent experience! Second time I used Melanie. Felt safe leaving the key of my home with her. She sent pictures every visit. Will use her every time I need to leave my fur baby.

Melanie was terrific with our elderly dog and indoor/outdoor cat. We needed her to cover family members who were in/out over long weekend. She didn’t hesitate with medications our dog needed. Highly recommend her.
