Animals are my spirit animal(s)!

Pet care experience

Before requesting a booking, please note: I am only available between the hours of 5pm - 8pm on weekdays (occasionally I will take a lunch drop-in if it is convenient to my work location in Stevensville). My weekend availability is usually flexible and reflects correctly on the calendar. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate overnight sittings, however I will consider multiple drop-ins on the weekends (early morning through late night) if you are within a few miles of my home in Grasonville. Please feel free to reach out with your needs and I will let you know what I can do! Chances are, I like your pets more than I like you! Just kidding! But in all seriousness, they are the best. Nothing heals a bad day like a tail wagging pup overcome with excitement at the sight of you walking through the door. I have 3 large dogs of my own, all of which believe they are small enough for a lap. Personal space does not exist in our house. I grew up with both dogs and cats, a ferret, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters throughout the years. I believe myself to be an excellent caregiver, with an abundance of patience, and a keen sense of what animals need and want. I would treat them just as I would treat my own, with just as much love, play time, and snuggles galore. I am familiar with administering medication, as two of my dogs are on regularly scheduled medications. I can lift up to 80 lbs if needed.

I will always follow owner instruction and will ask questions to understand your pets needs. There is no such thing as too many details (from you!). The safety and well being of your fur baby is my priority, always.

Information Melanie P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all the small details about what your dogs preferences are in terms of play and affection. It’s also important to know if they are not animal or human friendly so that I can prepare for that situation on walks.

A typical day

I love taking my clients for long walks, allowing for exercise and stimulation. I also enjoy snuggles and will gladly sit on the floor to give belly rubs and affection.
