Your Dogs/Cats Second Best Friend

Pet care experience

We only walk the best in North Durham, Your! . We provide drop-in visits and house sitting in North Durham. We are an avid Pet Lover, our family has a 4 year old Shiba Inu and three cats all of which are rescues. From the tiniest to the biggest, we walk them all. Pullers, sniffers, runners, draggers, puppies, seniors, disabled, mutts to pedigrees....It doesn't matter. We have been providing house sitting in your home, pet walks, cat checks with Rover for over four years and have never received a review or met a dog or cat who didn't like us. Even the dogs and cats that aren't usually comfortable with strangers end up in our lap or follow us around before too long. We're that couple that gets excited when the dog or cat at a party comes over to us! We treat every dog we walk as if they were our own, and we have a pretty high standard for our own personal dog and cats. Dogs and cats have always been an important part of our lives. All of our pets have been rescued, most we have nursed back to health. We enjoy making a living while doing something we love! Getting paid to play with and interact with dogs and cats is our dream job. We will treat your furbaby with lots of love and attention just like our own. Happy to provide updates to you through photos, calls or texts throughout the day. We provide peace of mind to your pet in their own home setting while you are away. We will have lots of potty breaks and playtime. We can help keep your pet on a schedule. We can also provide cat breaks by looking in and changing the litter box. We are available full time and look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and give lots of love and attention to your family pet. What Steve and Melanie would like to know about your dog and/or cat: General disposition, personality, favorite treats and activities, and those special little quirks that make your fur baby the most loveable, furry thing in your life. We also have experience taking care of pet pigs and chickens. Additional skills: -Oral Medication Administration -Can provide daily exercise -Teach basic commands -Senior dog/cat experience -Experience with special needs dog/cat We do this full-time. We do walk dogs and do cat drop-in visits during the day for other clients, but don't leave your furbabies for more than 4 hours at a time. Either myself or my husband are available for most of the day. We monitor their feeding and provide fresh water multiple times during the day. Your furbabies are welcome to sleep with me on the bed, the more the merrier.

Melanie and Roger are the best! We needed someone to check in on our pups for a couple of weeks while my husband was at work and I was traveling. They made sure they got lots of exercise, water, pets, and potty breaks. Great photo updates - we could tell our pups had so much fun during their check ins!

Thank you so much for watching Cleo! She clearly loves playing with you & Roger and I’m very thankful for your care of her and the plants while I was away :-)
