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
She was super nice and Zoe had a lot of fun staying there. I’ll definitely use her again.
Melanie was amazing ! It was our first time leaving our pup alone and she made us feel so at ease. She took the time to come meet him before and sent us pictures and update throughout her visit! So thankful for her help and care, definitely will be asking for her help again soon!
Melanie was amazing!! I felt at ease leaving my older pup in her care. She was communicative, caring, and trustworthy. Will definitely use her again
Mel is an excellent Rover -- I cant recommend her highly enough! She communicates very quickly, has a great yard by the beaches (a rarity if you are unfamiliar and just visiting the area), and most importantly, is very a attentive and loving caretaker of your best friend. Leaving your family member in the hands of another person can be stressful, but you will be stress-free if you get in touch with Mel.

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.

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.
