Information Melanie O. would like to know about your pet

I'm comfortable with any breed as long as the dog is not too aggressive. If you dog is not capable being around small children or other pets, I will adjust outside time accordingly. If your dog has special needs, please provide instructions me with to make them feel safe and comfortable in my care. Lastly, if you dog is not trained to be off a leash at dog parks, or if you do not want other people touching your dog while outside, please let me know.

A typical day

My 1 bedroom apartment is 500 square feet and clean for your pet to be comfortable and relax. I like to play with pets in parks with any toys you provide, long walks, and interact with people to get them comfortable around others. I do have 2 adopted bonded cats here that are not aggressive around animals.

Melanie was lovely to coordinate with! She sent lots of photos during our weekend away and made sure to pay close attention to our pup’s tendency to eat or nipple on random things. We really appreciated her help!
