About Melanie M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am attentive to schedules for food and bathroom needs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks so the more the merrier! I also have a lot of energy that makes for a fun competition to see who gets tired first from playing. One foster dog I had was afraid of stairs; we were able to overcome that fear with a lot of patience and praise.
Information Melanie M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Any favorite toys/locations to walk, quirks, and commands to make me feel less like a stranger to them.
A typical day
I always make it a challenge to see who will tire out first playing! Whether it is pushing a cat around in a box or playing tug of war with a dog in the backyard, I have a ton of energy. I love going on walks so it’ll be easy to incorporate a furry friend into my daily activity and let the pup explore all the smells. And after we are both exhausted, I will give endless pets and cuddles.

Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs since middle school. Although I have not owned any myself, my roommate has one who I care for frequently. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to pet sit for long weekends/weeks. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them until they wear out, and spoiling them with all of my attention. My siblings have both gotten cats since moving out. I have fallen in love with their unique personalities and their curiosity of the different cat toys I bring for them to play with. Since moving out myself, I have fostered three dogs. It is only a matter of time before I will have a dog of my own, so in the meantime I can devout my time to taking care of others’ dogs!
Reviews
So so happy to find Melanie for a last-minute business trip! I can’t say enough great things how about how nice it was to be able to relax and focus on work knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. She’s communicative, sweet and just a joy to work with.
Melanie is so great with my dog and is so flexible with her schedule! Will definitely work with her again!
Quickly responded & committed to walking Milo! Took him for a good walk & took pics for me!
Melanie watched our very active lab at our home for 5 days. She communicated daily and matched his energy with long walks and active playtime. She was conscientious and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. HIGHLY recommend!
