Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets member of family
I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melanie is super nice and easy to talk to, our dogs came home super tired so I know they had a lot of fun.
I've known Melanie my entire life, and I can genuinely say there's no one I trust more with dogs. She's had dogs as part of our family for as long as I can remember, and watching her with them has shown me what true animal care looks like. What stands out most is how naturally she connects with dogs of all temperaments. Whether it's a shy rescue or an energetic puppy, she has this calm, patient way of making them feel safe and loved. She's incredibly attentive to their needs and quickly picks up on their quirks and preferences. Dogs genuinely seem happier and more relaxed around her. Beyond just loving dogs, she's responsible and reliable. She understands that your pet isn't "just a dog" – they're family. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring, experienced hands. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and attention they'd give their own, I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie.
Melanie has watched my dogs for years, sometimes up to 3 weeks at a time. They love her and are beyond excited to see her. Our dogs are well taken care of and our bigger dog especially loves her huge, fenced in yard.

Schedule
I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.
Pets
A typical day
We like to play fetch and generally run around out in the yard. I do have a snuffle mat and puzzle that is lots of fun. We also are close to NICC for walking and sniffing in a quiet area.
