Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets exactly the way you request. Depending on the type of animal and your living situation, I’ll make sure they’re cared for properly — whether that means playing outside to burn off energy, keeping them mentally engaged with puzzles, or simply cuddling on the couch. I always respect your rules: if they’re crate-trained, that’s fine; if they’re allowed on the furniture, that’s fine too.

Information Melanie G. would like to know about your pet

This can be discussed during a meet and greet, which I prefer having with every family in order to better serve you and your family members. But a few things that are good to know is if they take any medication, if they have any special requirements or what a typical day looks like for them. I always ask the family to leave all details for their pets written on a counter. Sometimes meet and greets are far ahead of the day I watch your pet, and I don’t remember everything. Always good to have instructions written the first time. 🙂

A typical day

It really depends on what your pets needs are. If you have a high energy dog, then I will make sure that they are active several times a day while also taking time to rest. If you have an animal, that is low-key and low energy, then I will go by what their routine is and what they and you prefer.

Pet care experience

I’m able to take care of any animal small or large. I prefer taking care of them in your home so that they are less stressed if you are away while I do my own home I still prefer going into yours. It is healthier and better for your babies to have something that is familiar to them.

Charlie seemed to enjoy Melanie's company. It was nice to get pictures periodically to see how happy he was. Unfortunately, despite Melanie having experience with senior dogs and administering medication- there was an error in giving him his medication 12 hours too soon. We did send a text and it is written on the bottle. That is a major concern since he's been sick since then, requiring a vet visit.

Melanie was great to take a last minute booking and our dog was so happy he really didn't want to leave. :)

Melanie was responsive and made me feel at ease about leaving my pack in her care. I appreciated her great communication, updates and pictures throughout my time away. Would definitely use again!
