Playtime, love and belly rubs!

Pet care experience

I'll watch your furry friend with utmost care until you come around. I have experience in grooming, brushing, pampering and any other needs to ensure the comfortability of your furbaby. I will provide updates with pics/video calls and they will hear your voice and see your face, knowing that you're always there. While studying animal science , I've had the opportunity to understand and study several breeds from AKC to mixed breeds. I believe it's important to know the breed you're caring for because you can truly understand them, from their likes to dislikes. I'm very active, I take long walks, practice yoga, bike rides, trail hikes as well a drive. Without a doubt your furry friend will have the best of both worlds!

Melanie was great with taking my little Cosmo on short walks around the neighborhood while I was away for a week. She is quick to respond to messages, prompt, and is accommodating to requests. I would definitely recommend Melanie to others, and plan on booking her services again in the future.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet

The likes and dislikes, diet is important they do not all enjoy the same food or may cause an upset stomach. Nutrition to ensure they have a good go. Special toys are always a plus to give them comfort. Exercise is also important as they all have different needs.

A typical day

I live in a beautiful quiet, residential, dog friendly neighborhood with tons of fresh air. We can go on long walks, play ball. If they have a furry friend they'd like to see while you're away to feel comforted, I'd do my best for them to have a play date. Just as us humans, sometimes they would need that interaction with their friend as well. However, I know there are times where they just want to lay out and have their belly rubbed :)
