Your pets favorite Auntie :)

Hey there! I’m Melanie and I am an avid animal lover. I have been around dogs since I was quite young. I have a fenced in backyard for lots of play time with your pup. I live near monon trail and frequent local parks to hike with the dogs. I have two Husky mixes that are big lovers, and great with other dogs. I hope we get to meet your furry buddy sometime soon!

We have booked Melanie twice now. She was great providing care for our blind dog! She was flexible, asked questions, and sent photos. We would book her again!

Melanie was great caring for our blind dog while we were out of town! She messaged me when she was concerned about his water consumption, and had already tried a few things to see if it helped before messaging me. I felt confident that our sweet boy was in good hands!

Melanie took excellent care of my dogs. My fur babies can be difficult as one is elderly and the other is highly anxious around new people. Melanie was patient and caring. I would highly recommend her!

I have a fenced yard, I have two dogs to keep your loved one company, and a friendly, calm home. If I need to care for your animal solely in your home, that is possible as well.

I would need to know any behavioral issues and how they respond to other dogs. Any and all info about them would be lovely. I am open to all breeds.
