Caring for your Baby

I love dogs and cats, all shapes and sizes! I am willing to customize care to your preferences, as I want you and your baby to feel comfortable. Belly rubs, walks, and ear scratches will be included! I will also send your plenty of pictures and videos to update you! If there are any outings (picnic, hiking) I will ask you about this in advance. I am protective over my dog, so I understand the feeling. There will be no loud noises that may scare your fur baby, and I am willing to have our dogs be introduced before your dog's stay (my Zoey is very friendly and playful). Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions! I work from home full-time so your fur baby will be cared for around the clock! If your baby is on a particular schedule please let me know so I can ensure to keep their routine! I have a fenced yard that he/she can run around in, or he/she can nap the day away! Please let me know if your baby tends to try and escape so that I can be on the lookout for that, but I definitely will be supervising his or her regardless! If your baby is easily scared I will ensure to approach him or her with gentleness and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently offering drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting but no longer boarding animals. I always arrange meet and greets before booking a service so that everyone involved feels comfortable, safe, and at ease.

Melanie was wonderful. She sent frequent updates, which made me feel so calm about my fur babes being with her. She was very flexible, kind, and caring. Would highly recommend!
