Reliable Care Tailored with Love

Hi! I’m Melanie, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. Whether your pup needs an active walk, a cozy snuggle buddy, or some extra TLC while you’re away, I’m here to help make them feel safe, loved, and happy. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages — from puppies to senior pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always make it a priority to follow your routine closely, with plenty of love and attention along the way. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I treat every animal like family and aim to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to share updates, photos, and anything else to keep you connected with your pet!

We needed someone last minute over the holidays and Melanie was a wonderful sitter for our senior dog! She was great with sending updates and pictures every day. We will certainly reach out to her again in the future!

Melanie has been the absolute best. Donut loves her so much and will be so sad when she moves away! I would recommend Melanie to anyone looking for help with their pup

Highly recommend Melanie. She is very friendly and caring. She provided excellent care for our fur babies while we were out of town for a week. She kept us updated, and sent photos so we could keep a connection with our girls. The house was neat and tidy upon our return. Would definitely have her watch them again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day! My schedule is consistent but allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine — whether they thrive on playtime, snuggles, structured walks, or just having someone nearby. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide a stable environment and keep a close eye on your pet’s needs.

Pets

A typical day

I like to meet your dog where they’re at! If they love a long walk, a jog, sniff stops, or a game of tug of war I’m all for it. And I always love to end the activity with plenty of rest and a treat!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks I can account for! Or if you’d like any training reinforcement like sit, stay, heel.
