Experienced Dog Owner and Dog Lover

Pet care experience

As a former dog owner, I learned how to adapt to health issues with my little guy. He was a Puggle that had serve allergies and basically was scratching himself to death while trying all ways to address his health issues I was able to keep him happy and playful. until I had to make one of most difficult decisions of my life. My healing lead to the Anti-Cruelty Society, I have been trained and certified in the dog program at the Anti-Cruelty Society and have walked all types of dogs as a volunteer. I love dogs and hope to rescue at some point in the near future, in the meantime this role is healing for me. I bring passion and responsibility into everything that I do. I work fromhome and manage a Team remotely so I have the ability to determine my own schdule minus a 30 min zoom 3 days a week for my bossmore or less. I live downtown thus no yard aside from given approval from the owner we may hang out on the balcany and watch other pups walking by, always fun for the dogs. Balcony in 4 ft high and 2 inches between bars thus very safe,but if the owner preference is no balcony no problem.

Melanie was great! She provided multiple daily updates for our dog, and provided him attention and treated him like her own. Will definitely work with Melanie again!
