Pet Lover Caring for Fur Babies
I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I was very young starting with our family dog Shadow, then my first dog I owned a basset hound named Clyde, and now my new puppy Marv. I’ve been watching dogs since 2023 and I absolutely love it! I am booking less than I used to just cause I’m in school and working part time plus I have a new puppy. However I still love doing this on the side and enjoy taking care of new fur babies for a few days! (Don’t worry about Marv, my boyfriend looks after him when I’m watching your pup).

Safety, trust & environment
Right now I’m only watching dogs at your home since there are 2 dogs at mine and one (my roommate’s) doesn’t like strange dogs. If you have a fenced in yard we will play fetch or hang out there but still take an occasional walk around the neighborhood. I prefer dogs that are crate trained since they tend to feel safer at a new place if they have a little “cave” for them to go to sleep in. Your dogs safety is of the utmost importance to me and I take lots of measures to insure the best care they can get.
Ratings and reviews
Melanie’s care of our dogs while we were on vacation was phenomenal. She was a great guest in our home and her communication and updates were excellent through the booking process and trip. Highly recommend!

Perfect fit! She was attentive, communicative, and trustworthy! our doggies never really like people but they warmed up to her instantly! Definitely recommend 👍
