Over 30 years experience!!

Pet care experience

30 Years Experience Caring For Dogs I have been a dog trainer in California for 10 years before relocating to the South. My experience includes, dog agility, dog obedience training, vet tech assistant, boarding & pet sitting. I have worked for an animal rescue foundation so I am familiar with all types of dog breeds & personalities as well as their feline friends. I was in charge of taking care of 30-70 dogs on a daily basis and am highly capable of handling any situation that might occur. I dont look at pets as just a dog or cat, but a sweet furry friend or family member. I am good and comfortable with all kinds of Cats and dogs. I will adhere to their regular schedule of feeding and sleep routines to keep a sense of normalcy while their owners are gone. I have my own Petsitting business so I’m home a lot and able to care for them promptly if any situation arises or they are just lonely. We have a fenced in area of our backyard. All pets are never left unattended outside. All dogs are always walked on a leash in our backyard, around our lake or thru out our quiet, safe neighborhood. I send pictures and updates thru out the visits to ensure you feel comfortable being away from your baby

Melanie is the best! I have never felt so comfortable leaving skylar with anyone. She was so sweet and loving, quick to respond, and kept us updated each day. I know that skylar was well taken care of in her home. I will absolutely be using melanie in the future :)
