A Peace of Mind While You're Away

I provide peace of mind while caring for your pet, treating every dog as if they were my own! My experience includes: • Over 20 years of experience growing up with dogs • Fostering a rescue pup while living abroad • Volunteering as a dog walker at a local shelter I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for each one. You can expect regular photo updates and messages while your pup is in my care, so you always feel connected and reassured.

Safety, trust & environment

Before each stay or visit, I take the time to learn about your dog’s personality, habits, and any special needs whether that’s a dietary restriction, medication, mobility issue, or rescue background. I make sure to follow your care instructions closely and create a calm, familiar environment so your pup feels safe, respected, and loved from start to finish.

House Sitting • Nov 22, 2025

Melanie has been such a blessing for our little 12-week-old pup! She is incredibly reliable and always on time, which made each day run smoothly. Most importantly, she is so caring and patient — exactly what a young puppy needs. Our pup adored her and was relaxed, happy, and well cared for every time she was here. We can’t recommend her enough!

Melanie is the best pet sitter ever!! She is reliable, trustworthy, and so kind! My dog loves spending time with her. Melanie keeps me updated on how my dog is doing and sends me lots of pics!! I highly recommend Melanie to all my friends and family who need a pet sitter!

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. Please share details like: • Feeding schedule and portion sizes • Any medications or health concerns • Energy level and favorite activities • How they do on walks (pulling, reactivity, etc.) • Comfort items or routines that help them feel at ease • How they get along with other pets or people
