Pet care experience

Let me provide the best care for your best friend 🤍🐾 Whether it is a doggy day care or an overnight stay, my availability is always flexible. I make sure to provide at least 2-3 cool morning and evening walks, keep your pups nice and cool with iced water, provide a cool off zone (kitty pool & fun game of water gun tag) and always offer a trip to the park or a hiking trail. I like to work around my client's schedules and offer up to 9 hours of daycare. 9-12 hours is an additional $5 & pick up after 11pm is an additional $5. Boarding: an over night service, up to 24hrs. Additional 3 hour grace period given after 24hr period before additional charges apply. About me: Hi fellow fur-baby parents! My name is Melanie & I am 20 years old. I live in Woodland Hills near main streets Victory and Valley Circle and know the best spots to take your 4 legged pals on walks and hikes. I am a proud mommy of my 13 year old best friends Teddy and Nacho & have had all sorts of pets my whole life from bunnies, turtles, baby chicks, to dogs and cats so I have lots of experience in pet care. ... I know how hard it can be to manage work or school and giving your lovely pets the time and attention they deserve so I am here to offer the best care for your best friend. What to expect: While trusting me with your furry friend you can expect us to take a stroll around your neighborhood, go on a jog, visit any of their favorite spots, go to a dog park, go on a nearby hiking trail, or even visit the local Starbucks for a puppaccino & ride with the windows down. My services include but are not limited to: Doggy day care, Drop in visits, 30 min. - 1 hour walks, & boarding at my home. If you have any questions or concerns please ask, my priority is to make you and your furry pal feel comfortable and at ease while under my care! The quality of my service is something I always try to keep up with and maintain. I pet sit 7 days per week and typically have a group environment since I do daycare, and boardings weekly for my regular clients who have been with me for over a year, and some for over 2 years. In my home I provide multiple walks, field trips to the park, hiking trail, or beach depending on how much time we will be spending together.

Melanie exceeded our highest hopes for how a kitty sitter could be. She was loving and kind to our cat, and sent us beautiful notes and pictures about their time together. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely book her again. Thank you Melanie ??

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard for your fur babies to explore and play in for as long as they want. We are a 4 person family environment with no small children or persona under the age of 21. We have safety gates up between rooms like the living room and dinning room and dinning room and kitchen and all doors to bedrooms and bathroom remain closed in case your dog likes to play with toilet paper, drink from the toilet, or steal socks. The gates serve good purpose for separating during meal time and separating in case a dog tries to instigate a fight. We also have automatic lights that cover the whole backyard for night time potty breaks and we always make sure to accompany them outside and supervise in case of coyotes and other critters.

Pet Sitting is my full-time job. I provide walks, boardings, drop-ins, and daycare 7 days/week. While your dog is under my care, we practice training, safe socializing, and enrichment activities. I typically have a group environment of friendly dogs of different ages, sizes, and breeds so it is very important that your dog is friendly and up to date with all of their shots.
