Paw Sitter and Retreat🐾

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)

Haze had an awesome time with Melanie and her family. She sent updates and photos daily we could see how happy he was there. ❤️

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.

I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! From the first meet-and-greet, she made my dog feel comfortable right away. She kept me updated with daily photos, took him on long walks, and even followed all my special instructions perfectly. It’s such a relief knowing my dog was in caring hands. She took care of my elegy’s dog like it was her own pet. Five stars all the way!
