Fur mama of 2 cats & 1 dog

Pet care experience

I've taken care of pets since I was a very young girl. We always had at least one dog while growing up, as well as rodents, birds, and cats.

I recommend Melanie because she treats all pets as if they were her own, with attentive care and affection. She is responsible and punctual. I can always depend on her to take exceptional care of my dog when I am unavailable.

Melanie is awesome. She is kind, caring and trustworthy with your pets. She recently took care of my senior dogs managing their medication and had great patience with the special needs of a senior dogs. I would highly recommend using her to care for your pets.

Melanie has a heart of gold for kids and pets. She's caring, thoughtful, patient and generous!! I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets. Leaving your pet(s) in her capable arms would leave you free from worry.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and my dog is extremely friendly and playful. She plays with big, small, and medium sized dogs at the dog park- she loves all dogs! We usually have a neighbor dog over for playtime too, but if you're more comfortable with no dogs, I can also make this work. We have two sizes of crates (large and medium) if necessary, as well as a kiddie pool, shade, and some grass outside. I will do everything in my power to care for your baby in your home or mine as if they were my own. I know that I would want the same for mine, and I will do the same for others. Option to bring my dog to your home for some companionship/playtime.

Information Melanie K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help your baby feel more at home or more comfortable. I like to know all about them to understand what their norm is and to continue their routine, as I understand how important it is to them, and to you!

A typical day

My dog is very active and requires mental stimulation, therefore we play a lot of games throughout the day, such as tug-of-war, catch, and treat searches. I also attempt to do short training sessions often. I would absolutely be happy to do the same for your baby. I would love to bring your doggo along for walks and sniffs, or pee-mail as my neighbor likes to call it. If your dog is hanging with us at my house, we usually alternate some outdoor and indoor time. I am home for most of the morning, so I can keep your pupper inside with me at all times, away from my dog or cats if you prefer.
