MELNATE PROSPECT PET SITTING

Pet care experience

My husband, Nate, and I provide the care. We love photos and you will receive a bunch throughout the visit...probably too many! Our pup, Delilah, LOVES other dogs. She has zero aggression towards anything and loves having friends to play with. We have an XL and Md dog create if needed for your dog or they can stay out while we are away. We always leave Delilah in a crate when unattended so they won't be left out alone together. We are okay with raw feeding, administering medicine, and most any special needs your pup may require. I have been very active in dog training since middle school and use to compete in dog shows with my dogs Lily and Ares growing up. We competed in obedience, rally, agility, showmanship, drill, and conformation classes. Both my dogs were K-9 good citizen certified. They are both now residing in doggie heaven after long lives of 14 and 16 years....we miss them everyday and but are so happy to have welcomed a new rescue into our home. We would be happy to have your dog with us and look forward to hearing from you!

Melanie and her husband were so good - they sent me lots of updates of their walks, the dogs being cute, and Sarge came home in a really good mood and seemed very well taken care of.

Melanie took very good care of our pup. She sent so many photos and videos, took her on long walks through prospect park and was very communicative.
