Safety, trust & environment

Within a clients home the dog/ cat will definitely be more comfortable. And I will respect any wishes or needs your fur baby might have, when working in a clients home I know that the animal needs time to take in a new scent and person, and I am extremely patient with them to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

I love to know any quirks or schedules so I know how to 100% keep them happy, comfortable, and in routine as best as possible while you are away! You’re babies happiness and health are so so important, and I want that to be my #1 priority! :)

Melanie is a natural with the doggos. She has been so gentle and calm with my anxious and reactive rescue. I will undoubtedly hire her again and again :)
