Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for over 25 years from friends, neighbors and family. Also, I have grown up with pets of all kinds our entire life. Treat every pet like our own with kindness and love. Have the hands experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. Dedícate constant attention, care, and companionship. Our dog Max loves playing with his toys and loves having doggie friends over. I can accommodate those that need private space as well as needed. Enjoy going on multiple walks throughout the day.(Hablamos español)

We were very nervous leaving our 10 year old dog with anyone. His first time in someone home without us being around. The sitter went above our expectations. Diesel felt right at home. We received photos and messages throughout his stay.

Melanie is the best Dog Sitter I have ever had. She really cares about the safety and comfort of your pet and she shares status updates while you are away. You would be lucky to have her post your animal.
