Pet care experience

Hello all! my name is Melanie. I am 30 years old and currently working on my masters in Nursing. I have had 3 family dogs my whole life (Dachshund, Labrador, Poodle) that made my life better while growing up. I have taken care of dogs since I could remember and dog-sat during high school for my neighbors as an extra income. I'm passionate, caring and fun and will guarantee your dogs a great time! I will care of them as if they were my own! I currently do not have any pets but enjoy hosting our neighbor's dog in order to get in my much needed time with furry animals. I look forward to providing awesome care for your furry best friend !!!

Melanie was great! She housesit our elderly pom for a long weekend and he was well taken care of. She sent pics and updates every day and when we came home, our house was clean and our dog was happy!
