Highlights
Pet care experience
Adventures and snuggles await!
Your pet is a family member, so you need someone you can trust! I've owned and cared for dogs for more than 20 years. I have experience training dogs at a very high level, including for therapy training. I am an outdoorsy adventurer who will take dogs on long walks in any type of weather. My house is spacious with a fenced yard to keep your pet active and comfortable. I'm home during the day to give your pet the time and attention they deserve.

Thank you Melanie for looking after Fleetwood as your own. It made it easier for us to enjoy our vacation knowing he's well taken care of and happy. I appreciate all your help and thank you very much for all your help.

Thank you Melanie for looking after Fleetwood as if ye was your own. I appreciate all the care, attention and communication. It's clear he had a good time there and that made my weekend away more enjoyable. Thanks again!!

Melanie is always so patient and kind with Stella. We appreciate her and will call on her again!

Bella loves her weekly walks with Melanie. Bella is now more obedient on the lead. I would highly recommend her to take your dog out for a walk.

Absolutely the best!! Melanie was very attentive to my dog's needs and communicated very often with pictures/videos and updates. I would highly recommend Melanie for all dog services and we will be using her again.

Melanie was amazing with our dog and we are so appreciative of all the updates and how happy she looked coming home ❤️

Schedule
I work from home at my own business, so my schedule is flexible. I can let the dogs out in the backyard at anytime. In the evening we have couches and dog beds.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large home and fenced yard and a senior dog who is friendly with other dogs. I will use crating or baby gates as needed. Walks are an important part of my daily routine.

A typical day
Let's start our day with a walk around the pond behind my house. We can look at the geese and get our exercise. We'll come home for breakfast and some pets and snuggles, maybe a tug-of-war game. Another walk after breakfast, then some rest time until lunch. At lunch we'll play in the backyard with my dog. Then some more rest and another long walk in the evening. Later we'll have snuggles on the couch and playtime together.
