Pet care experience
I’ve always loved dogs since I was a little girl. Being around them makes me happy and they distract me if I’m ever having a bad day. I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and clients from work. I have 2 dogs of my own and work at an animal shelter in the kennel taking care of the dogs that are there. I love all “my dogs” (I call them) in the kennel and am very passionate about my work. I do sometimes foster dogs from my job to give them a chance to be in a home as well. I have experience with extremely shy/anxious dogs as well as reactive dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and from puppies to senior dogs. I can do basic training/commands as well.
About Melanie M.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard. There is a space for a crate if needed and I can do whatever to accommodate the dogs needs. I have 2 dogs that are friendly in the upstairs part of my house that your dog can play with in the backyard. If your dog is not dog friendly/dog reactive, I have a whole apartment basement in my house where I can stay with them and be completely separate from the dogs in my home.

Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or is on a special diet/ treats. As well as if they need to be given any medication. If they get along with other dogs or not. If they need to be crated. If they are house trained or not.
A typical day
I would take your dog on a nice walk around the neighborhood as well as play and run around with them in the back yard. I have plenty of toys for them to play with and we can also play fetch. Your dog will get plenty of snuggles and belly rubs/ kisses. I also love to give enrichment (i.e. kongs, lick matts, dog puzzle toys). I can do basic training/commands as well.
