After getting laid off in the beginning of 2023, l wanted to do something that made me happy. Dog walking/pet sitting was just that! I am an avid runner, so I am not going to just give your dog the bare minimum, when it comes to walks! I am free M-F during the day, and some nights. I am also available on weekends, depending on if I have a race/event.

Safety, trust & environment

I pride myself in caring for someone’s pets as if they were my own. I feel that they are part of the family, and should be treated as such.

Information Melanie H. would like to know about your pet

If they are aggressive to other dogs, or people. What their personalities are like. If they are affected/afraid of something or sounds. What kind of things are ok to eat, and what can upset their stomachs.

A typical day

I will do whatever the dog’s normal activities are. I can run, walk, play tug of war, or even throw a ball or toy. If they just like to relax and be loved, I can do that as well!
