Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know more about your dog’s personality, any medical needs, their previous experiences with caretakers, and what a typical day looks like for them. It’s also helpful to hear how they cope with being away from you, so I can ensure they feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with your dog includes plenty of outdoor fun—long walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to tailor the day to your dog’s specific needs or preferences, whether that means focusing on training exercises or enjoying some quiet time indoors. Whatever makes your dog happiest, I’m here to provide it!

We can’t recommend Mel enough! Great sitter. She gave us lots of sweet updates on our dog and our house was spotless when we came home. Will absolutely book with Mel again.

Melanie was so sweet and took such great care of my kitties! Every day I could tell (through picture updates) that my cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even brought in my mail! Would definitely recommend Melanie to watch your fur babies! ❤️❤️

Melanie was wonderful with our Georgia. They bonded immediately, which was unusual for my fur baby. We exchanged information in case of any pressing questions or emergencies. She remember all of our instructions regarding, “The Duchesse” and texted to clarify about a medication. I couldn’t have been any more pleased with her work, and I highly recommend her services.

Mel is great! She always keeps me in the loop and send pics of “my boys” when I’m away so I don’t have to be worried.
