Safety, trust & environment

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their feeding schedule, favorite games, medical/dietary needs, and any triggers (like leash reactivity, fear of storms, or nervousness around strangers). Knowing their history helps me provide the most comfortable care possible.

A typical day

Daily neighborhood walks, backyard fetch, interactive puzzle toys, and plenty of belly rubs. I tailor the fun to your pet’s energy level—from active play sessions for high-energy breeds to low-impact enrichment and cozy cuddle time for seniors.

Pet care experience

As a dedicated pet lover in the Green Bay area, I treat every furry friend who stays with me like a member of my own family. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a refreshing neighborhood walk, or dedicated overnight care, they’ll receive individual love and tail-wagging fun. When hosting in my own, I only host one client family at a time to create a non crowded, multi-dog stress for your pups. I'm flexible and happy to step in for last-minute plans or emergencies. Custom routines to match your dog's specific energy level, breed traits, and age. Im an experienced foster parent: I understand every pet comes with unique backgrounds, nervous habits, or special care needs and I adapt accordingly.

Wonderful experience with Melanie! Booked her last minute due to us moving and she was able to take Leia in. And sent pictures and updates throughout the day!

Took wonderful care of our large, spoiled, dog and two cats. Received daily reports and pictures. It was great having a house sitter. I would definitely recommend Melanie to all and would welcome her to again care for our precious pets.
