Dog Lover and Owner

I am a huge dog and animal lover! I have had larger breed dogs my entire life, and have experience with dogs of kinds. Your animal would have lots of love, company, and attention. I work from home so could spend all day with your pup in your home or mine. I have a separate floor to host dogs. Your animal would be well taken care of in my home. Cats, fish, birds, dogs, lizards, hamsters, mice, rats welcome too.

Melanie is incredible! She is caring and dependable. Maverick was very happy spending time with her. That's really what matters.

Melanie took such great care of Sumo! I almost canceled my plans when my pup had a sprained leg and had to rest and be on medication, but Melanie graciously accepted to care for him. She put my mind at ease, treating Sumo like one of her own, and giving me updates during his stay. Five stars! 💙🐶

House Sitting • Mar 15, 2026

Melanie has been a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our 6-month old Belgian Malinois puppy. Anyone who knows about this breed knows that they are a handful! Melanie takes such good care of our pup and has even been supporting with Cholla’s training. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and are extremely grateful for her services. Melanie is very responsive and flexible with days/times that we need support. We highly recommend Melanie to anybody looking for a dog sitter!

House Sitting • Apr 08, 2017

Melanie was great! She had a full house of critters and some pretty scary weather the weekend we were gone, but she did a wonderful job keeping us informed and holding down the fort. We feel fortunate to have found her.
