Ratings and reviews
Melanie was amazing! I never worried about my girls once while I was gone! She sent daily updates and photos, sometimes multiples times too so I always knew my girls were in good hands! Will definitely be back!
Melanie watched our dog Jasper for us for a week and she did an amazing job! She was consistent and on time with her updates on her drop ins with him, and made sure to send us a picture of him each time she visited which we loved. She was dependable and so sweet to Jasper, and after coming home we can tell that he was safe and well cared for. :)
I've been using this dog walking service for a while now, and honestly it's been a game changer. My schedule's all over the place, but they're incredibly reliable. My dog actually gets excited when they show up, which tells me everything I need to know about how well she's treated. Communication is great and I never worry when I'm away. Totally worth it for the peace of mind alone.
Melanie is wonderful with pets, especially dogs. She is patient and gentle, while also remaining firm and in control. She loves our pups like her own.
I have known Melanie for many years, she continues to be a dear friend who is dependable, caring, devoted and loving. I would not hesitate to select Melanie to care for my beloved pets. I would feel 100% comfortable leaving knowing my pets are in good hands and will be taken care of. Melanie is amazing.
What stood out most was how calm and patient she is. She pays attention to routines, communicates clearly, and truly treats pets like her own. I would trust her without hesitation.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I intentionally schedule my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. This allows me to provide consistent, reliable care without rushing visits or walks. I plan my schedule to ensure: • Timely feedings, walks, and drop-ins • Plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship • Flexibility for early mornings, evenings, and weekends • Enough time between bookings to give each pet focused care Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I build my routine around maintaining their normal schedule and keeping things calm and predictable. I’m organized, punctual, and communicative, so pet care never feels like an afterthought — it’s a priority.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I offer care both in my home and in your pet’s home, depending on the service and what works best for your pet. In all cases, I focus on maintaining routines, providing attentive supervision, and creating a calm, secure environment. In your home: I carefully follow your instructions and respect your pet’s normal feeding, walking, play, and medication schedule. I ensure doors, gates, and entry points are secure, monitor your pet’s behavior and health, and leave your home clean, locked, and exactly as I found it. I provide regular photo updates and detailed visit notes so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home: Pets in my care are welcomed into a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and exercise. I take steps to ensure a secure space, controlled introductions when applicable, and close monitoring during playtime, rest, and feeding. I accommodate individual needs, including seniors, shy pets, and special routines, to help your pet feel comfortable and at ease. Whether caring for cats or dogs, I move at each pet’s pace — offering affection when welcomed and space when needed — to ensure a positive, low-stress experience built on trust and safety.
