Pet care experience

Stay, play, okay.

Dogs have been a huge part of my life for the last 15 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I provide a safe, comfortable home with a fully fenced yard, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while you're away.

I've known Melanie for more than 20 years. My dogs have stayed at her house multiple times. Her yard is fully fenced in. I highly recommend her.

I remember years ago when Mel adopted an Alaskan Malamute at five years old. We thought she was crazy at the time, but then she adopted a puppy a year later. She built her whole life around those dogs, and they both lived long lives before passing away from old age. Her home is very dog friendly and is a calm, comfortable place.

Mel is kind and compassionate and has experience caring for dogs through her own pets at home. She has personally cared for two dogs, including senior dogs, both of whom lived long lives into their old age and passed away at 14 years old. She is attentive to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs, and provides patient, careful support, especially for older dogs with changing needs.

Schedule

Pet care is built into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get consistent potty breaks, meals, playtime, and supervision in a safe, fenced yard.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in a calm, safe home environment and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and are supervised throughout the day. I adjust care based on each dog’s needs and any instructions provided by the owner.
