About Melanie G.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
I have a huge fenced in backyard and if you bring your own crate, we have space for it in my apartment. I allow pets on the couch, but not my bed. I'm used to giving medications to pets, my own dog takes oral medication every morning and eats breakfast, lunch and dinner each day.
Home
Information Melanie G. would like to know about your pet
I would want to know if you pet has any special needs for food or treats and what is he most interested when out on a walk. Are they reactive to other dogs, stray cats or squirrels? I would want to know what to pay attention to during my time with them to make sure we all have a great time! I would also like to know if your pet will get into anything while he is left alone. Do they dig in the garbage for something that smells good or drink out of the toilet if the seat is left open. Would they eat socks or especially love to chew on shoes, clothes or rip to shreds toys left out.
A typical day
We will have lots unleashed backyard playtime and leashed walks out in the world. I like to work on training skills if they are learning and reinforce skills already known.

Welcome All Size Dogs!
Pet care experience
I love all breeds and sizes of pets, but really love the bigger breeds. I work from home all day and I have a small first floor apartment near the beach. I have a massive fenced backyard for pups to play in all day long! I have my own retired racing Greyhound, Fred, who will be home for all overnight boarders but stays at home for check in or daily walks at your house. He would come with me for house sitting overnights. Fred mainly keeps to himself, is completely house trained and truly a silent companion.
Reviews
Melanie watched my 3 year old 150 lbs Great Dane for me over the weekend. She was so kind and communicative and was able to help out last minute, so that I could go away and enjoy a wedding stress free knowing that he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking her again and recommend her!
Melanie is great.
I loved Melanie’s fenced in backyard for Harper’s stay. She was flexible when our return flight was delayed.
Melanie was wonderful and so accommodating of our perhaps unusual need to drop off our dog very early and pick him up very late same day. She took him on a walk and even shared some of her dog's treats with him when (I'm sure!) he gave her the 'begging puppy eyes'! Highly recommend Melanie!
