@TidalHavenRetreat
A Wellness approach to your loved pet 💙 🌻Canadian Red Cross First Aid for Dogs Certified 🌻 Completed Dr. Ian Dunbar’s SIRIUS® Dog Trainer Academy, with a focus on positive-reinforcement training & canine behaviour 🌻LIMA approach to training and behaviour 🌻I don’t book every client or extended long term stays with getting to know your dog. I wish we could tell them when you return but we can’t. They are so scared at first, so nervous… offering well rounded care it so important. I specialize in active breeds, needing 5K walks or hikes a day. I’m a lifelong animal lover with a calm, reliable, and caring approach . I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🌻New Rover Members get $20 off first booking with my promo code: https://www.rover.com/sit/melans95847

Ratings and reviews
Melanie went above and beyond our expectations. She was able to look after Murphy in very short notice, catered to all his needs and even replaced his harness after he ruined it. I would highly recommend her services.
Melanie jumped and helped us out with a very last minute request and our doggo was super happy with her company. She also sent just the right amount of updates. Would def ask for her help again.
Melanie was absolutely amazing with Murphy and Nova. She took on two very high energy dogs with no problems. Highly recommend!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melanie took wonderful care of Doug while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Doug came home happy, relaxed, and well looked after, and I appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Melanie with Doug again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate Rover sitter.
