Vet professional w/ puppy friends!

Pet care experience

I have been working with animals for 9+ years, with the last 5 being as a veterinary technician! I have three dogs and completely understand the struggle of having to leave them home while you are away. Rest assured, your furry family member will be treated like part of the pack. With a flexible work schedule between me and my husband, one of us is almost always home to be with the pups! We love taking our guests out to parks, restaurants, and daily adventures while they are with us, or simply staying home and relaxing in our giant, FENCED back yard! Your babies will be spoiled, loved, and wonderfully taken care of with me, no matter the breed, size, and needs! No dog is ever too big, too small, too energetic or too lazy for us. With my years of medical experience, I am fully able and willing to care for special needs pets including (but not limited to): diabetes, seizure patients, incontinence, daily medications, and geriatric pets.

Melanie was great! She had a good sized backyard and very friendly dogs for your furry friends to play with. She sent lots of pictures and kept you in the loop the whole time. Would recommend and book again for sure!

Melanie took great care of our giant dogs, our dogs came home happy and exhausted. We would highly recommend Melanie for any of your canine care needs.

Melanie and her husband were amazing. Melanie set up a play date in her home ahead of time to ensure all the pups would play well together and she was very accommodating with our pick up/ drop off times. We received regular updates and our pup returned home happy and tired from a fun weekend. This was our first time leaving our dog, and Melanie was so understanding of that, making sure everything was in place and smooth the entire process.

Information Melanie F. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing is that your dog gets along with other dogs of all shapes and sizes! Our trio loves every dog/cat/friend that they’ve met, and we’d love for any of our guests to be the same!

A typical day

We will take walks all over the neighborhood, and if the weather is right, we might even venture for a small hike down the green belt! If your dog likes running, we will go for a jog. If your dog is older, we will take a short leisure walk. Your preferences are what I will follow, and I will make sure your dog has the best time while you are away!
