Pet care experience

Safety comes first, then FUN!

Growing up owning dogs since I was born, I’ve always been passionate about making sure they have the best care. After losing my dog of 14 years, I find myself missing those long walks and hours of playing! That being said, I also understand from first hand experience how to best take care of senior dogs. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds and am confident that, given the opportunity, I can become your dog’s (second) favorite person.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog friendly apartment that is off the street. Across from my home is a beautiful park with a fenced in dog park if you are open to that, otherwise I stick to safe dog friendly routes and am happy to continue on your regular walk path or take your dog on an adventure.

Melanie was amazing with our two doggies. She sent daily updates and pictures. I could tell my babies were comfortable and felt right at home with her. One of my babies developed an eye issue a few days before the booking and required eye drops and pain meds to be administered several times a day. She was very understanding and accommodating to his new needs. She is experienced in administering medications and had no difficulty doing it. She treated my dogs like her own. My boy even came back home with a new sweater that he absolutely loves. We will be reaching out for additional stays with Melanie. She is a great sitter!

Melanie is the best! My doggies had the best time with her and I had peace of mind while on vacation. Will be booking again.

Melanie was great on all accounts. Communication was great, pick up/drop off was easy and most importantly I could tell my boys enjoyed their time with her. Definitely would recommend!

Melanie is amazing, she was extremely communicative during my pups stay, and managed her anxiety like a charm. She sent me lots of photos to keep me updated and took such great care of my girl. We will certainly be utilizing Melanie whenever she will have us!! Can’t say enough great things about her and trusting her with my dog!

I am currently working for myself with flexible hours which keeps me very open for watching your pups! I work from home and can be counted on for last minute walks, long walks, shorts walks, and more.
