This is a service I do not offer at this time, Mike is our 15 yr old pup loving life with our other two pups.

Information Melanie P. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a any breed preferences. What does your dog like? Good Health? Up to date on vaccinations? What is your dog afraid of? How old? What temperament do they have?

A typical day

We will walk in a safe area. Make it fun for your dog. Each and every dog is different and respond in different ways. It is important to find what makes your dog happy! I have fun on our walks, always positive. When they come home they are happy and content enough to take a long nap. After some water, of course.

Pet care experience

I am a retired ER RN. Have always loved dogs of any size. We have three dogs. Mike, Sophie, Billie. Also Three cats. All of our dogs I have trained in obedience and Good Canine Citizen Certification. Mike is a Dalmatian Mix, he was my obedience competitor he did very well. He now has arthritis in both knees, he is now retired. Happy and content in his forever home! Sophie is our beagle mix and is currently training in dog agility. She either gets first or nothing! We have fun trying! Billie our Coon Hound Mix is going to start dock diving locally. I have actually talked my husband into training him! Positive training is the way to be most effective. I used to work 12hr nights and had to depend on neighbors to let my dogs out. I do wish "Rover" was an option then! I do have the knowledge to administer medications if needed oral or injections with my background as a Registered Nurse, Paramedic with 25 years of experience. We also have 3 cats they are all seniors. One is a diabetic and requires checking his blood sugar then giving insulin. Another has thyroid issues and requires oral meds twice a day. I am Red Cross Certified for Cat and Dog First Aid. I adore all animals. Most of all, the safety of your pet is my number one goal! Then having a safe fun walk makes everyone happy! Thank You for taking the time to read this.

We love her! She loves to wear our busy boy out and takes great care of him while we are gone. She is reliable and we would use her every time!

Melanie was wonderful with my two dog babies. It was my first time leaving them and she made the experience very comfortable. I will definitely use her again.

Melanie was gret with Buster. Whe played with him and she spent a lot of time with him. I definitely use her again. I would highly recommend her for any pet setting.
