Safety, trust & environment

I have a great set up for small dogs. A fully fenced yard, travel crate, dog sling, small dog beds, toys, blankets, and transportation. We do have some feral cats in the neighborhood, but they shouldn't be bothersome. I have 3 large trees so your pup may find the squirrel activity fun!

Information Melanie R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if pups have any special needs or dietary requirements. Temperment is extremely important. Meet and greet is a must! I've dealt with dogs with food aggression and can deal with it as long as we can crate feed.

A typical day

I have a small neighborhood park that is easy to walk to. I prefer a harness if the dog likes to try and lead. Sticks and balls seem to be a favorite here! Fetch is one of my pups favorite games.

Dogs are the best stress relief!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of several dogs and cats over the last 30+ years. I often watch pets for family and friends as they need me, and I love it. We have a fenced back yard with a very walkable neighborhood near parks. I am reliable and will ensure your pup is well taken care of and loved!

Melanie is the best. We feel great and at ease leaving our two dogs with her whenever we need to! She communicates, shares great updates and pics, and our dogs are well taken care of!

Melanie was great! She was responsive and super trustworthy. Our dogs had a blast and we felt very at ease knowing they were in good hands. We got nice updates and pics which is always so nice to not have to ask for those ourselves. Absolutely recommend!

I have know Melanie for over 20 years, she has always loved dogs. She is a very responsible dog owner who always has up to date vaccination and keeps her pet happy with healthy treats and fun toys. She is going to take the very best care of your fur baby for sure! She will spoil them and they won’t have a care in the world. Every time I see her with her dog or even my dogs, cat, goats and chickens, she is more than happy to give snuggles and love. I highly recommend Melanie as your pet sitter and would trust her with my whole farm no problem. Be prepared for your pet to get treated like royalty.
