Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong pet owner and lover
My family has had cats since before I was born, we got our first dog when I was 8, and I had countless fish and even a guinea pig, so I’ve spent many years caring for many different kinds of pets! I now have a two year old pup of my own who is just the sweetest. She would love to make friends with your pet!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melanie was awesome with our dog, Ruthie! Ruthie warmed up to her right away, and was happy and well when we returned. Melanie was good communicator and reliable. Highly recommend!

Thank you from us and our pup. Happy dog when we returned -- and everything cleaned up and in great shape. Good communication, appreciate the photos.

Melanie is great with the pups! And showed up right on time.


Melanie sent me lots of photos and really took good care of my Twinkie while I was away for the weekend!

Melanie took my dog for a walk for a whole week. It made my life way easier. Especially knowing that my dog is having a good time with Melanie and her dog. Thank you so much!

Melanie, thank you for taking my dog for a walk!

Schedule
I typically walk my dog twice a day for at least an hour, sometimes more! I’ll also squeeze in a short midday walk if I can. I go to the office three days a week of my choosing, so if your dog doesn’t do well alone I can aim to make my home days overlap with our booking. No need to bring anything but their food or leash. I have plenty of toys, treats, and a comfy couch to sleep on. Of course if they prefer anything special feel free to bring that. I can accommodate any needs they may have!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep an eye on the dogs if I’m the backyard and am very experienced walking all sizes of dogs. I also have a PetCube cam so I can always keep an eye on the pups while I’m away!
