Highlights
Pet care experience
Did someone say W-A-L-K ?
You are looking for a trustworthy, attentive and reliable person. I understand that. As a dog owner, I put myself in your shoes; I want what’s best for my furry best friend. As a dog-walker, my goal is to ensure that your dog is comfortable, safe and happy every visit by using positive reinforcement, calm, patience and awareness. Eight (8) years of dogwalking and dogsitting based around structure and routine. I use patience and establish respect between your pet and I to ensure pleasant interactions. Although I am not a skillful expert trainer, I understand basic dog behaviours and provide competent services as well as pertinent feedback.

Safety, trust & environment
I always follow your instructions, keep the dog on leash, double check the space your dog is roaming in, monitor behaviours and clearly communicate any concerns, if any during the visit.
Ratings and reviews
Melanie was an excellent communicator, kept me up to date on absolutely everything, took excellent care of both my pups and my house. She was fantastic, and I can’t wait for her to sit for my pups again soon! I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Thank you so much again, Melanie! :)
Mel is absolutely wonderful with our shy rescue dog. She is extremely conscientious and professional. Mel clearly understands dogs and their people and we're thrilled we found her.
Mel is wonderful with our shy rescue dog. She has impressive knowledge and sensitivity regarding how to care for animals. We were impressed with the very thorough meet-and-greet, during which Mel made a great connection with our pup. We really appreciate being able to trust Mel and recommend her highly!
Melanie is wonderful! She was such a huge help walking our two dogs and provided tons of photos and feedback! We have booked with Melanie before and certainly will again! Thank you Melanie!
