Kind+ Active Dog-walker & Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life. My family had two Shetland sheepdogs when I was young, and now they have a golden doodle named Buddy whom I walk weekly and care for when they are out of town. He is the sweetest! I worked in childcare for two years prior to graduating from UNO with a degree in Communications/Journalism, and now am the Marketing Coordinator at Lanoha Nurseries, so I understand how to work with, communicate and care for all kinds of little beings. I will take care and guard your pet like they are my own, I do not take the bond between pet owners and pets lightly. They are part of your family, and when I care for them, they are a part of mine as well! I am happy to share references of the pet owners, parents and employers that I have worked with in the past if you are interested in learning more about me. I am very open to what your individual pet may need. I am a very fast learner as well as resourceful, so if your pet has special needs, please don't hesitate to contact me. I love meeting new animals and pets! If you have any questions please contact me and we can chat about you and your family’s specific needs!

I highly recommend Melanie as a dog sitter- and really just as a great person! We came to know Melanie almost 2 years ago. We had just moved to Omaha and needed someone to watch our Frenchies for the weekend. Melanie has been dog sitting for us ever since (even when we moved to Bellevue). She genuinely cares aboupeacet our pups, she sends pictures of them while we're away, and walks them more than we do! We have peace of mind when we leave because we know that Melanie takes such great care of our pups. I cannot recommend Melanie highly enough. She's not just great at dog sitting, but she has a great personality as well. She even wrote a long list of places for us to try in the Omaha area when we told we had just moved here!

Melanie is absolutely fantastic with dogs! I have known Melanie since Junior High and she has always been able to create special bonds with dogs. She is an exceptionally caring and responsible person and is always up for a good adventure with a pup! I have full confidence in her ability to care for dogs and highly recommend her for all your doggy care needs.

Melanie has been a great dog owner as long as I have known her! She cares deeply for her pets and will care for others pets as her own. I would let Melanie take care of my animals as well as recommend her to others for pet-sitting or dog walking!

Melanie has a sweet, bubbly personality and you can tell that she cares about animals. She is responsible and I wouldn't hesitate at all trusting her with your pet care.

I LOVE hiking. Hitchcock Nature Center is my favorite place to take my dog. Other times we frequent Regency Lake, and downtown Omaha by the Con Agra Lake, Gene Leahy Mall and Hanscom Park. If your little guy had a favorite place, I am happy to go there as well. I'd love to check out more parks in Omaha.
