Loving and Responsible Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I was a loving dog mom for many years until my fur baby Honey passed away last year. I don’t currently have any pets and would love the opportunity to spoil your fur baby. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and every stage in between. I have previously helped run a doggie daycare business out of a home and have experience dealing with many types of dog personalities. I would love to care for your fur baby like my own.

Melanie is amazing! Your baby will be in great hands. The communication and updates were great. My pup was all smiles his entire stay, couldn’t recommend her enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I do live in an apartment but will take your pup out for extended walks and time outside. Your pet(s) would be the only ones during a stay and get all of my attention. There is a nearby dog park if your pup is social and enjoys meeting other dogs. If not, we can skip it. I’m also happy to go to your home where your pup is familiar with the surroundings.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much as you can about your dog. It will help me take care of him/her in the best way possible. Make sure to let me know about any aggressive tendencies with people or dogs, food preferences/restrictions and overall well-being of your pup.

A typical day

Dogs just wanna have fun so I will make sure they have tons of fun during our time together. We can play with their favorite toy(s), go for long walks and even learn a new trick or two. I love teaching dogs tricks! Oh, and we will definitely snuggle if your pup is up for it. I also love taking pictures so you’ll definitely get some fur baby pictures so you can see what we’re up to,
