Information Melanie T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs so that I can accommodate. I also want to know the food they eat, how much, what time to feed them and where they prefer to sleep.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs or cats physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games, check out the smells in the neighborhood, explore the beach and parks near my house or yours.

Melanie was great! He was very responsive and flexible and is clearly a dog lover. We will definitely bring Max back to her.

This was the second time we have left our very loved dog with Melanie. I would happily and confidently recommend her to anyone who needs a loving and caring home to leave their pet with for a bit. You will be glad you made that choice!

I would highly recommend Melanie for taking great care of your pet. The communication throughout Yodie’s stay was so comforting and put me at ease. Yodie was well cared for and I am very grateful.

Melanie was great and so helpful to take my pup for boarding - it was a last minute request and my travel schedule changed frequently. Melanie was flexible with her schedule to handle the changes to my travel schedule. Melanie had an extra dog bed, toys and her dog for my pup to play with. Instant love!
