I work from home where I have a flexible schedule. We don’t have family in the area, so I love to stay busy with walking so I would love to take your dogs out walking when mine gets too hot!

Safety, trust & environment

If I would care for your pets at my home, I would make sure to abide by all of your instructions. Your pets would have to get along well with our Bernese Mountain Dog and our domestic cat. Both are very friendly and passive. However, if caring for your pets in your home, I wouldn’t bring my pets and would again follow all of your instructions, caring for your baby or babies like I would my own. They are our family!

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any special needs your pet has. Are there tips or tricks that you think will be helpful to bond and get the most out of our visits?

A typical day

I love to make sure I meet your pet where it’s at. If it loves to play fetch, let’s play. If they love to run, let’s run. If they need a break in between. Let’s do that. I have many years of experience and volunteered as a young adult at a shelter so I have experience with my types of personalities.

Flexible & trustworthy caretaker

Pet care experience

I have always had a passion for animals, especially dogs. Before we moved out of state, I was the go to dog caregiver for my grand-dogs, my parents’ dogs, my sister’s dogs, and my neighbor dogs. I would either go to their homes to care for them or they would come to mine. I would walk them along with my dog or when I had more than one dog. I can’t live without pets!

Melanie was super friendly, thourough and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We did a meet and greet where she let my pup check out her home and other pups, and explained hiw everything works at her home. I hope she is available the next time we need a dog sitter. 🐾🥰

Melanie is great. I feel so confident that my dog is being well taken care of and that he's happy and having a good time. She keeps in touch with update emails. I can't say enough good things about her. I'm so happy to find someone I trust to keep my dog when I have to be away.
