Pet care experience
I have always had a passion for dogs since I was a little kid, and throughout the years I decided working with dogs was what made me truly happy. Life is too short to be stuck doing something that drains your energy and will to be your best self. I worked for Doggie Daycare for awhile, and working there inspired me to reach out and offer my own dog sitting and walking services.. I’ve been working with animals, mostly dogs for over the past 8 years and have fostered, adopted, and rescued multiple pups, and have worked professionally for over two years. I know different things gratify different people, but caring for animals really hits home for me. My heart feels like it’ll burst out of my chest when I know a sweet pup finds a loving, stable family. I also have tons of grooming and training experience, so I’m happy to provide baths, teeth cleaning, nail grinding, ear cleaning, etc. if you’d like the full care package. These are all things that I really enjoy because we all feel better when we look our best. I’ve cared for all types of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I have absolutely no preferences. I’m also experienced with caring for senior and infirm dogs, so whatever medical attention your dog needs, I can totally provide. I currently have full availability at the moment and am very flexible driving to where I am needed. I am a student but all of my classes are online, so I can adapt my schedule to suit your needs. I live with my boyfriend of three years and he might be a bigger dog lover than me. We totally bonded over our love of animals early in our relationship, so he will be an extra pair of hands to care for your beloved pup. His parents used to breed Chihuahuas, so he’s been around dogs his entire life. We are fur parents to two amazing dogs. One is a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix, named Kinta, who is almost 9 years old. The other is a Border Collie, German Shepherd names Lilo, who is a little over a year old. They both get along wonderfully with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm either working on my studies, going to the dog park, or hiking with my dogs if the weather allows it. What makes me happiest is working with and being around dogs, and making sure they're happy. Seeing a dog grow, whether it be in training, experience, or personality, it makes ne happy to know I'm making a difference in their life for the better.
Reviews
I absolutely loved having Melanie watch my two boys. She sent me tons of pictures, as per my request. Gave me a detailed summary of each day. She also responded quickly anytime I reached out to her. She also accepted my service request which was very last minute and was happy to accommodate any and all of my requests. She was extremely professional and also very caring. I will definitely be using Melanie in the future and would recommend her to anyone. It felt more like I had a best friend watch my boys not a dog sitter. Can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided.
Melanie did a wonderful job looking after my dogs while we were on our vacation. I would definitely recommend her for short and long term visits.
Melanie is great with our pups and always sends a thurough review of each visit. We have used her twice now and will continue to use her.
Melanie is always prompt and keeps me updated on my pup.

I provide excellent customer service by offering a variety of option to the owners about the services they're inquiring about, to make sure they choose the best option for them and their dog. I make sure to always keep the owner updated on any activity related theor dog, such as walks, what they are for a snack, and give an overall report card on how their pup did. If you’d like a quick meet and greet, I’d love to schedule it. Meet and greets are a wonderful way to get acquainted and answer any questions about your dog’s care. I love and am experienced with all dogs, no matter the shape or size, so I have no breed preferences. I do ask that if your dog is not spayed or neutered, that this be mentioned, as well as any medical conditions the dog may have. I believe in open and clear communication, so please feel free to contact me anytime, day or night!
A typical day
My boyfriend and our two dogs currently live in an apartment building called Haven 124. Although we don’t have a fenced-in yard, there is a little grassy area right outside for dogs to play! There is also a dog park within 5 minutes of my apartment. We will go on many leisurely walks and perhaps some hikes if your dog is the adventurous type! Then we’ll come home and cuddle up with a good book or movie.
