Part time animal lover/care taker

Pet care experience

My main goal for as your animal caregiver is to ensure the safety and care of your furry friends. I get joy from working with animals and helping their humans! I grew up with a yorkie pup named Goliath in my home and I would assist my family in caring for him by walking him daily, feeding him, and grooming him since I was a small child. I am also experienced with cats, as I have lived with and cared for 3 cats. I will gladly care for any other type of pet as well! I work a child care job Monday-Thursday. This is subject to change, so please message me and check my calendar for my availability; I update it on a weekly basis. I hope that you choose me help you and care for your pet ❤️

I am delighted to provide a heartfelt testimonial for Melanie. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and reliable dog walker, and Melanie has exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I met Melanie, I could tell that they genuinely love dogs and have a deep understanding of their needs. Their passion for animals is evident in every interaction they have with my furry companion. Melanie treats my dog with immense care, kindness, and respect, just as if he were their own. One of the things that impresses me the most about Melanie is their professionalism and commitment to providing exceptional service. They are always punctual, arriving promptly for each walk, rain or shine. I have never had to worry about my dog's safety or well-being while in their care. They have an innate ability to handle any situation that arises during the walks, ensuring the utmost security for my furry friend. Furthermore, Melanie goes the extra mile to provide enriching experiences for my dog. They vary the routes, explore different parks, and engage in interactive play, which keeps my dog physically and mentally stimulated. I can genuinely see the positive impact these outings have on my dog's overall well-being and behavior. Communication is vital to me as a pet owner, and Melanie excels in this aspect. They provide regular updates after each walk, including details on the duration, distance covered, and any noteworthy observations. It brings me peace of mind knowing that I am well-informed about my dog's activities throughout the day. In addition to their exceptional dog walking skills, Melanie also demonstrates a genuine bond and affection for my dog. They take the time to understand his unique personality and cater to his individual needs. It is evident that they truly enjoy spending time with dogs and form meaningful connections with them. I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie to anyone in search of a reliable, professional, and caring dog walker. They have become an integral part of my dog's routine and have made a significant positive impact on his life. With Melanie, I know that my beloved companion is in the best hands possible, and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Melanie, for your unwavering dedication and exceptional service. You have made a remarkable difference in the life of my dog, and I am forever grateful.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet is trained, and the their overall personality. Are they aggressive? shy? anxious? Friendly? Easily excitable? I like to have a virtual or in person meeting to discuss the pet's needs and routine to prepare for the sitting/walk/drop in visits.

A typical day

We will go to walks around the neighborhood or to a park or dog run if there is one close by. I will be glad to play with the dogs to their heart's content.
