Energetic Local Offering Pet Care

Pet care experience

I am a college student home for the summer, and I'm excited to help you take care of your dog! I have owned a dog at home for years, and due to his particular health conditions I have experience administering medication both orally and through eye drops, calming acute anxiety in animals, and preparing specialized food. Besides my special skills, I am excited to play with, take care of, and generally make your dog as happy as possible. I am in New Jersey/New York until the end of September, and am available to help basically full time. I cannot host animals in my own house unfortunately due to our cat population, but I have a car that is dog friendly and I am ready to come to you! También hablo español.

I was very pleased with Melanie!! She was very responsive and made sure my Lola was happy while I was not there. Melanie made sure she asked and knew everything about Lola and kept the place as I left it. She stayed with Lola for 5 nights and Lola seemed to have a great time with her :)

Melanie is an enthusiastic dog person and would surely care for your pet with as much love and affection as she shows her own puppy! She has been a dog-lover her whole life and has taken care of the family dog, Cody, through many medical issues and unique needs. I have also called on her to care for my own energetic puppy and she has gone above and beyond to make sure he is well-fed, well-exercised, and well-loved while I am away! As a person, Melanie is responsible and accountable with everything she does. I have no doubt that she would be attentive to your dogs needs, clear in communicating with you, and punctual in carrying out her duties. I fully endorse Melanie for any dog-related needs you may have, whether that's just a daily walk or an overnight stay!

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how social your dog is! Will they want to meet new people right away, or need time to adjust? What sort of routines do you have with your dog? I want to do my best to keep your dog in their daily patterns so they don't miss you as much. No breed preferences, all dogs welcome!

A typical day

As a DC resident, I am excited to explore the neighborhoods your dog is familiar with but also to try to find new routes for him! The wonderful thing about this city is the abundance of parks to play in! I also know several dog parks, but that would depend upon how comfortable both the dog and the owner are with that idea.
