Pet care experience

Mel’s dog sitting services

I have been trusted to care for many pups several times and I really enjoy doing it. I like to give the best care for the doggies so that they feel comfortable and safe in the new environment. I do have a few skills with training, such as potty training & teaching new tricks.

Doggy Day Care • mars 24, 2026

My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.

Melanie was great with our 2 year old corgi! He seemed to have had a lot of fun :) Melanie was also very patient with us with our delayed schedule.

Sevi seemed happy and well taken care of. He even got a present and a new friend. Thanks Melanie; your help was greatly appreciated.

Amazing Dog Sitter! Melanie was incredible with Tiena! She was attentive, loving, and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and comfortable. I got regular updates and came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for dog. So grateful to have found someone I trust — will definitely book again!

Melanie is definitely an animal lover. She cares for her own pup with so much love and makes sure he is well before anything or anyone else. Melanie is a very lovable and approachable person. If you bring your pup to her he/she will be well taken care of and will get so much love even if it’s just for a couple hours or days.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I like to let the doggies have their own space while I keep an eye on them. I do have a fenced yard so they can roam free while using the potty. I like to ask a lot of questions to the owners so that I know how to care for the pups just as their parents care for them in their own home. I do have a dog but he is friendly and playful with other dogs so that is never an issue.

Pets

A typical day

I am always free to take them on walks, play fetch or play type of game to keep them active and happy. There’s many parks near my area so I am more than happy to take them to the parks.

Is there any specific things I should know about how to take care of the dog? Is there any special behaviors the dog has? Any thing is helpful so that I can create a safe and comforting environment for both of us.
