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!

I loved the way she took care of my Cavapoo.. She was courteous, well informed about providing care for my dog. I definitely will be using her in the future. Great pictures daily from day one to my return.

Martin had great care! He was spoiled and didn’t want to come home. Great family to care for your beloved dog.

Melanie was awesome. I was at ease from the time we met. I knew my boys were in good hands and I never once was worried at all. Highly recommend her. Will anticipate using Melanie again. Thank you Melanie.

I was very hesitant to use this app and to have a stranger take care of our dog, but thankfully someone like Melanie is here and I couldn’t be happier! She treats our Cali like her own and loves on her and makes her feel safe and happy. She communicates very well and sends many pictures to keep us reassured that everything is going okay. I definitely recommend her (unless you want her during a time I need her because I only will go to Melanie the next time we need a dog sitter!!). If you’re on the fence, fret not!! So grateful for her and how she took care of our dog daughter!

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!

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.

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!
