I am one with the animals

Pet care experience

I have had animals be a part of our family all of my life. When I was growing up, not only did we have Huskies ( Sonka and Tasha)- we've had guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, fish, and cats. So having animals in our house has been ingrained in my life since a very early age. After our huskies passed, we couldn't wait long to embrace some new family members. Since then we've raised three dogs in our house; Mookie, Buffy, and Leah. All I know is that life is better when dogs are in it. I can't imagine life without my furry best friends! Each one of them has unique traits that builds their character, and makes a home even brighter with their happiness and love. Whoever is reading this, I understand that every dog deserves only the best. If you need someone to visit, play, walk, or be their watcher and friend for the night- you can count on me to take care of your best bud while you are away. Some more information about myself: I work at a daycare, and babysit regularly. Currently a part-time college student studying English/ Literature. In my free time I love being out in nature (hiking, camping, etc), reading and writing, enjoy the company of my furry friends as well as my human ones.

Melanie's love for dogs is no secret, she is the owner of three herself. She is very kind and nutruring around any animal. She's also very responsible and I know any dog under her care would be smothered with love and cuddles!

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

What they don't like. What sets off your dog. One of my dogs is extremely loving and playful, but if something sets her off she can growl and bite and it takes a lot to calm her down. So I would like to know their triggers. It would be great to know their feeding schedule and when they usually go out to the bathroom. Vet information is great as well. As for breeds, I'm not picky at all. I love all dogs! If your dog is big, just need a heads up if they jump or if they are agressive.

A typical day

I usually walk dogs around the neighborhood. But would take them on walks to the park or anywhere scenic with a trail. As for what we would do together: each dog is different with what they like to do. It really depends on the personality of your dog, but I'm okay with playful and active dogs, as well as reserved and timid dogs.
