I am retired so I am home most of the time, your fur baby will always have someone here, whether myself, husband or mom. I recently purchased a doggie door, so they will have the opportunity to be inside or out whenever they want.

Information Melanie K. would like to know about your pet

The most important information for me to know as your dog's temporary caregiver is medical history. If your dog needs special care, or if I need to be mindful of certain health concerns, I want to be sure that I can be there for your dog to the fullest extent. Additionally, if there is something that your dog specifically enjoys, i.e. tummy rubs, playing fetch, etc. then I would love to know so that I can provide him/her with the best experience possible.

A typical day

Besides eating homemade food that i cook special for them, haha, we will play ball, fetch and whatever they enjoy. I think the most fun will be belly rubs and doggy massages.

When you need to go away and not have to worry about your pet, Melanie will not only take care of baby, she goes above and beyond with love for your pet. Kobe was very well taken care of, she even slept on the coach to stay with him. Who does that? SHE DOES!!! Thanks again Melanie. Xo
