Will Love Your Pet Like I Love Mine

Pet care experience

After 13 years with a prestigious accounting firm, I got into the professional dog walking and pet care services after fostering 5 abandoned, 3 week old puppies. A month later one of those little pups adopted me and changed my life forever. I have spent the past three years dog walking, cat/dog sitting, volunteer and training at shelters. My love for animals and experience has made me a great caregiver of both dogs and cats, young and old, large and small. JoJo is the love of my life and I will love and care for your pet the way I do mine.

Melanie was awesome, and really came through in a pinch during the recent holiday season. All of our animals (2 dogs and a cat) responded very well to her after only meeting once or twice ahead of her stay. She went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in impeccable condition, and that we received more than our fair share of daily pictures.

Awesome! Recommended for anyone who needs someone to love their pup just as much as you while you're away. My puppy loved her & her cutie JoJo.

Information Melanie G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet(s) breed, age and daily routine. Are your pet(s) spayed or neutered and vaccinations current? Does your pet(s) have special needs, separation anxiety, aggressive or any other behaviors I should be made aware of?

A typical day

I am responsible, reliable and consistent and will care for your pet like I do mine. I show up when I say and safety is my first priority. I will send pictures & updates daily so you have peace of mind while you are away. Your dog(s) will get plenty of exercise, walking and/or hiking to local dog friendly parks like Whitnall Park, Laurel Canyon and Runyon Canyon. I will help your puppy start the socialization process by attending trainer monitored play dates such as Puppy Playtime at Unleashed. For those nuggets that are better off indoors, I will play and cuddle as prescribed. All exercises are based on your pets' personal needs and/or limitations as discussed in our meet and greet.
