Reliable, kind, trusting caregiver

Pet care experience

I've enjoyed caring for dogs and cats both in their home and mine for over 4 years. I welcome the opportunity to provide you the best care and attention to your family pets. I have a large yard to walk your dogs and can crate your pets if needed. I enjoy going for walks with leash or we have a cable for them to be on. Caring for your dogs/cats is currently my full time job. I'm very grateful for this opportunity to help others with their animals. I have great references as well. We have a large yard and a couple tie outs off the back of the house. Also have a couple larger & smaller crates in the basement if necessary. Animals are allowed anywhere in the house but they don't get table scraps. I will also utilize your requests for your home when staying there with your animals.

Melanie did an excellent job caring for our dog and cat in our home while we were away for 3 1/2 weeks. She was very responsive to communication and sent many photos. When we arrived home, the house was spotless, the laundry was done, and the pets were happy!

Melanie went above and beyond caring for your pups over the holidays. She worked with both pups & their special needs. She is so caring and loving for our pups. She treats them as her own.
