Work from home,fenced yard dog mom!
Pet care experience
Growing up, we had a zoo...dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, fish...so I've been around animals all my life! I was often asked to dog-sit or house-sit when I was a teen and in my 20s. I've personally had 2 dogs for the last 11 years, and am familiar with all ages, from puppies to senior care.
Reviews
Melanie is AMAZING! laidback, sent wonderful pics and what a happy dog we got back!
First time booking an overnight visit, and Melanie took great care of our pup! Highly recommend, she also takes cute photos and is very friendly and responsive
Melanie was fantastic, Oakley had a great time!
Melanie did a great job keeping our sweet dog. He spent a long day with her and got plenty of play time. Melanie sent us pictures of him during the day.

I have an older dog, Rosco, who enjoys playing with other dogs of all sizes in our fenced yard. He does well with all types, and will play with yours if they are playful, and leave them alone if they are not! I also have multiple rooms and areas in the house, as well as crates, if you prefer them to be separated or have a boarding/crating schedule you need kept. Any specific details about what is needed can be discussed, and I am experienced and open in caring for all types of pups!
Home
Information Melanie G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there's any special quirks about your dog, and how they get along with others. I am open to caring for all kinds of needs, including medical, and can accommodate various preferences, like if they need to eat alone or in special ways. Additionally - please take care of your pets so that I may take of them as well as mine. Please do not book with me if they have fleas or worms or anything of that nature. If you book with me and they have any of these, I will either expect you to pay for the treatment to your dog/my dog/fogging the house (in the case of fleas) or I will surrender it to a local shelter.
A typical day
I live within walking distance of Caswell Park, and will take your dog on walks around the neighborhood! I have a fenced back yard where they can run and play fetch, and lots of toys to keep them occupied.

Availability
I work from home exclusively, and have a fairly open schedule at that, so I am able to board dogs, leave frequently to care for them in your home, walk them, or even house-sit, if that's what you prefer!
