Going Above & Beyond For You
Pet care experience
Welcome to Barnaby & Company! — MY PROGRAM — Our beloved pets have specific needs and routines. Allow me to customize my services to adapt to your pet and optimize their experience. By providing me with details of their temperament, fears, commands, triggers, medications, dietary restrictions, etc, I will be able to create an atmosphere that is healthy and engaging for your pet and stress-free for you. — HOUSE SITTING — - Provide information of pet(s). - If not given by you, I will create a routine schedule for your animal including food times, bathroom breaks, walking, playing, etc which will be left for your approval. - I clean up immediately after the dog during bathroom breaks. ** I will provide you will a discount if you have more than 3 animals (ex. 2 dog and 3 cats) — DROP-INS — - Provide information of your pet(s). - If possible, please leave a list of any specific things you would like for me to do. - I am comfortable with all breeds! — WALKS — - Provide information of your pet(s). (*Inform me of any past injuries to ensure a more comfortable route.) - I will bring a clean portable water bottle for every walk! - I bring my own poop bags. - I am comfortable with walking dogs and cats. — WHY THIS JOB? — Barnaby (my puppy in my photo) has severe PS and needed surgery. Unfortunately, I was unable to provide funding for his surgery and created this business in his honor. Luckily I was able to fund his surgery and now I keep my small business alive through my love for animals. Thank-you for your time and consideration. I hope I will be able to go above and beyond for your pet(s) and provide you excellent customer service. My schedule is made a month in advance. I primarily work mornings with a release time of 3pm, but have days where I am mid or closer for my cafe. Although I am busy, I make time for pet care. It is all about priorities. I wash my client’s bowls after feeding and always provide fresh water. I love giving small massages to affectionate/willing animals, and set up their area so they are as comfy as possible. If I am walking you furbaby and it is hot/cold outside, I test the pavement and research weather safety to ensure it is still safe to walk them without injury or health risk.
Reviews
Melanie was awesome! She sent great pics and videos. Her report cards were so cute! I think sarge had a great time with her! Would highly recommend!
Outstanding service as always!
She was so happy when I got home from work. Rain in all you were amazing. Thank you we hope to see you again!
Melanie was amazing with our dog Sugar. From her first greeting with Sugar until the last day of her stay, Melanie made Sugar feel like a special dog, playing with her and petting her before and after her walk. She also gave Sugar fresh water after each walk. One of the best things Melanie did was take cute pictures of Sugar during her walk and she uploaded them to the Rover app, so we were able to see Sugar in the wild each day. This was great. I give Melanie the strongest recommendation for anyone looking for incredible care for their dog. She is a star!

Information Melanie P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know as much about your pet as possible, especially medications. The more I know about your furbaby, the better I can tailor my services to uniquely fit them! A good examples is knowing: temperament, triggers, routines, medicines, and past injuries. I have no breed preference. All breeds are welcomed!
A typical day
I personally love walking my dogs on shaded trails, especially on hot days (for their paws). My favorite spot is either my neighborhood, Frick Park, Montour Trail, and Panhandle Trail. I play a lot of catch, frisbee, etc with the dogs to ensure their excessive. I have my cats on harnesses and leashes so they can still have outdoor time and enjoy the sun and fresh air.
