Availability
I work nearby, so I can take your pet outside for potty breaks as needed. I think it's important to have playtime as well, and we've got plenty of toys for your pup to play with!

About Melanie S.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, with an additional dog-friendly area (with dog grass) in case of inclement weather. Does your pup wear potty pants or a belly band? No worries, they'll be cared for - just like I care for my own.

Information Melanie S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special requirements or feeding time(s) that they look forward to. I want to set them up for success!
A typical day
Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and entertained while their humans are away. I can tailor each experience to your pet’s personality and energy level - whether that means long walks with plenty of sniff breaks, backyard games of fetch, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. My goal is to make every visit feel like a mini vacation for your pup, filled with joy, comfort, and connection.

Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs my entire life, and all of them have been rescue pups with very unique personalities and backgrounds. Because of this, I'm a patient and loving pet parent. I have taken care of senior dogs, and those with health challenges. I also have experience caring for dogs with incontinence issues, and I've changed lots of doggie diapers (disposable and washable). Outside of my full-time job, I work as a volunteer & social media manager for a St. Louis-based dog rescue group.
Reviews

Melanie took excellent and living care of my little guy. She sent a photo or video every one of the 16 days he was with her plus a daily update. She has a huge fenced backyard too!

She good care of our dog Lily. She sent pictures and videos.
Melanie did a great job with my Yorkie. She kept me informed throughout his stay. I came back to a happy energetic pet. I highly recommend her. Hopefully, she will be available the next time need a sitter.

Melanie is great! My Annie has terrible separation anxiety and Melanie kept her close and comforted. Will definitely be using her again!
