Pet care experience
Hello everyone my name is Melanie and I grew up with animals my whole life. I currently live in an apartment and can host a few dogs. I have a small Maltipoo who is sweet and playful. She is trained and sleeps with me. I have taught her commands like sit, focus, watch me, etc as well as tasks. Will provide basic training for your pup during their stay. Your pup will be free to feel at home in a clean and safe environment. There is a trail we can take a walk or jog if your dog has more energy for it. There is also an enclosed field I maintain for the pups to roam free. I am very excited to help you care for your fur babies as my own. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! TikTok @MelsDoggyDays I walk dogs multiple times throughout the day. Anywhere from every 2 hours for younger pups and up as well as keep a pad in the hallway. There’s bowls, toys, treats and pet beds for them. I may give them a bath after a few days into their stay. My son loves animals and we’re always excited to have more company.
Reviews
Melanie is a gem! She is always there even at the last minute and my fur baby gets excited anytime she realizes that is where she is going! She always leaves happy and I know well taken care of. Thanks Melanie!
Melanie is great. My Kobe loves going to her house. Melanie is great, Kobe was throwing up and she notified me immediately. She was able to nurse him back to health.
Amazing. Kobe loves his stay all the time!
Melanie always takes such wonderful care of Luna. She is also very good about communicating and sending pictures!

A typical day
First walk of the day is before breakfast. Usual feeding unless told otherwise is 7am and 7pm. Everyday around noon we take a walk or play for sometime in an enclosed field I maintain. They explore new surroundings and run around. At home there’s plenty of toys and treats. Few more walks and they’re ready for bed.
