Flexible schedule, Avid dog lover!

Pet care experience

My family has had dogs and other pets my whole entire life and I could not imagine my life without them. I have been around all kinds of dogs, from the biggest to the smallest, and I love them all. I absolutely love playing with them when they want to play and I believe it is very important to keep them active and happy. I have also had to potty train and raise my Labrador Retriever, who lived 16 long love filled years, my Yorkie, who's 6, and Pomeranian, who's almost 3. I am self employed and work from home so my hours are very flexible. I have dog sat in the past just for family and friends, and even dog sat along with baby sitting when a family had a dog too. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies while you're away or busy! If I do stay over your home for more than a day, I will most likely need to go back to my home office for about an hour or two (the most) to complete work. Most of my work however can be done on my laptop at your home, but of course if I am taking care of your dog, they are my number one priority. I will always keep you updated on how we're doing so you know everything is A-ok, because I would want someone to do the same for me if they were taking care of my dogs. xo

Melanie is amazing. We had her stay in our home to take care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs has anciety issues and does not like anyone but our very immediate family. Melanie has been accepted into that small group, that gets the tail wag and kisses greeting! I highly recommend Melanie.

Melanie is responsible and follows all my requests. My dog is a happy puppy with her.

Melanie did a great job watching Nala. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date with her activity and what she ate. My dog was happy and content when I got home

Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet

Before pet sitting I need to know if your dog has an medical needs, allergies, noticeable habits, schedules, etc. Anything important and that you believe I should know. I do not have any breed preferences since I've been around all different breeds of dogs my entire life from Yorkies, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Bull Dogs, Boxers, Beagles, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Pitbulls, etc.

A typical day

We can go on walks around your neighborhood or to the local park if you live by one, or just play around in your backyard. We'll play fetch and do lots of running around too if your pet is up for it. If there are certain games or places your dog enjoys walks, of course let me know!
