Home full-time - fenced yard- walks

Pet care experience

My husband and I are animal lovers, but I would be the main watch keeper since I am home full time :) We have been around puppies our whole life. I call all doggies, puppies (regardless if they're young and old) I grew up with Cocker Spaniels and my husband with a Mini Pinscher. We currently do not have any dogs at home Potty time for your pup is whenever the pup needs, we have a fenced backyard where they can go at any minute of the day, in addition to the daily walks around the neighborhood. I would love to have the opportunity to watch these little ones. I have used Rover.com in the past ,and had a great experience. This was prior to my little Spaniel girl Kiki passing away at the age of 13 due to a uterus infection :( So looking to give the same love that she received from her sitter to another puppy. I will keep you posted throughout the day with pictures and videos so you have a peace of mind that your pup is in good care and happy. I am more than happy to meet with you and your pooch before you confirm my sitter services to make sure your pup feels comfortable and vice versa.

Melanie was awesome with my cat Toby. She is very compassionate and loving. She kept me updated every day on how Toby was coming along being that it was the first time I left Toby with a sitter. By the second day Toby felt comfortable with her due to Melanie’s patience and loving strategies. My highest recommendation for Melanie and will most definitely look forward to contacting her again. Thanks Melanie ?

My Lemmy loves spending time with Melanie. He suffers from anxiety but not when he is with Melanie. He is completely relaxed and at home when he is with her. She keeps in touch and sends pictures often. I am so grateful to have someone like Melanie to take care of my boy when I am away. She is always my first choice in dog sitters!!!

Melanie was an amazing dog sitter. She sent me pictures and videos through out there stay. I would recommend her to anyone who loves and cares for there pets. I will definitely be using her again. She cares and loves your pets as if they were her own. So if you want to go on vacation stress free without worrying about your pets, use Melanie.

Information Melanie K. would like to know about your pet

I love all of these pups ! I have personal experience with Cocker Spaniels and Mini Pinschers . Please let me know if your pup needs extra medical attention prior. I am experienced with administering medication with "pill pocket" treats to dogs in need. I do not take in dogs from different families. I do not like the uncertainty of how they will interact. If you give me the opportunity to watch your pooch, he / she will be the only one.

A typical day

Walks are around the Whitestone neighborhood. I prefer not taking the pooches to Doggie parks. I do not like the uncertainty of other dogs behavior and would like to avoid finding out. Activities include walks, play time with / without their favorite toy (I have plenty puppy toys at home), treat time and snuggle time. Pets are permitted on the furniture at our home.
