Pet care experience

Hi! Are you looking for someone who is loving, caring, attentive, reliable, patient, trustworthy and responsible to care for your fur baby? Look no more because you found her! My name is Melanie and I have been loving animals since I was a toddler. They are my biggest passion. I have 20+ years of experience with dogs and cats. I also have veterinary assistant experience and skills. I have been a dog walker/sitter since 2018. I have experience training puppies and older dogs as well.

Melanie was great with our dog and she provided updates and pictures on a daily basis. She made him feel comfortable and our dog had a great time with her.

Melanie provided our boy with a sweet friendly home when we had to go somewhere without him!

Information Melanie R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to let me know how your dog is with children. I’d appreciate if you would let me know any additional information so that I’m better prepared.

A typical day

I love to go on walks around my neighborhood with the dogs. I have a fenced yard the dogs can enjoy running and playing fetch. We’ll play with toys, do tricks for treats, and even cuddle together.

Availability

I am a full time stay-at-home mother to three boys who also love and respect animals. I am currently available to board your dog any day of the week. I am flexible with my schedule. I prefer to board one dog at a time but I can sometimes make accommodations based on temperament, energy level, and the size of the dogs in my care. Now that I have a baby, I do prefer low energy dogs who are well trained. I DO NOT ACCEPT DOGS WHO ARE AGGRESSIVE OR HAVE ACCIDENTS IN THE HOME.
