About Melanie R.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While we aren’t able to host pets in our home, I’m a great dog walker who can match pace to any animal- from jogs to joyous sprints to patiently waiting while sniffs and scents are investigated.
Information Melanie R. would like to know about your pet
When caring for other people’s pets I prioritize safety and don’t allow interaction with other dogs we encounter on walks. Please tell me if there are special requests so I can provide the best care.
A typical day
I love playing outside with dogs, playing fetch, or just providing cuddles on inside days. In nice days, walks are great. I will follow owners guidance and try to match whatever the dogs are used to or seem to enjoy- with safety being my number one priority.

Animal lover with time to spare!
Pet care experience
I’ve loved caring for animals since I was young. We recently moved and can’t host any pets in our home anymore but would love the opportunity to care for your beloved animal family member with walks and check ins. From our experience in boarding animals at our previous home, we have learned how to care for all sorts of special needs pets including injections, helping with mobility, and providing the genuine connection all forms of life require. My priorities in caring for animals are safety, communication with the owner, and connection with the pet. It’s truly the most rewarding responsibility and I treat every animal I’m entrusted with as though they are my family.
Reviews
Very helpful and flexible! Great communication. My dog was very shy at first but Melanie was very patient!
Melanie was absolutely incredible, went above and beyond to care for my pup. Will definitely be rebooking, so thankful
Melanie was excellent, very good with my two cats and very communicative. I highly recommend her if you are looking for quality care for your animals!
Melanie and her family took care of our elderly dog B with lots of love and care for a month! He was happy, content and received lots of exercise with scenic views. Without disappointment, just like the first time we left B with Melanie and family, we received daily pictures throughout the day of B’s activities and felt at ease and at peace knowing that B was in a secure environment. B was surely treated like family and we’ll be returning for their services for again! Thank you Melanie!
