Safety, trust & environment

I have 4 well behaved dogs and have a large, fenced backyard where your dog can run and play. I do have crates if you prefer them to be crated at night, no need to haul your crate over.

Information Melanie L. would like to know about your pet

I have 4 French Bulldogs, but only 1 is still puppyish, she is currently 15 months old, there are times I do have to crate her because she is having a very hard time getting fully potty trained, also she likes to play fight a little too much sometimes. I have no problem leaving her in my bedroom and keeping her separated from the other animals if I feel she is playing a little rough. She has never hurt anyone, or any other animals that we have play dates with.

A typical day

I keep a lot of toys around the house and in the back yard, for the hot days, I have a splash pad in the back yard for them to cool off. Because it's just me, I only like to walk 2 dogs at a time, but I am perfectly fine with taking multiple trips around the neighborhood. If it's on a day that I am not working, I do like to haul them over to a nearby park.

Pet care experience

I have had a houseful of dogs for 5 years now and I love all 4 of my dogs equally. I understand the importance of walks and love they need from their humans. I am a breeder so I know what comes with taking care of new born puppies as well as senior dogs.

Melanie did a great job caring for my pups. She sent pictures and kept me informed the entire time. I highly recommend Melanie and will be using her services in the near future.

Melanie was great with ALL my animals (dogs, cats, chickens)! She went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and sincerely cared about my fur babies. I would highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!

Melanie and I both share our love for frenchies, having 3 myself. Whenever I need her to board my babies , even if last minute , her door is always open, dependable, she has great communication, prompt responses and just loves dogs of all breeds. I can leave them with her with a peace of mind and no guilt bc I know she will treat them just as her own!
