Pet care experience

Your pup's second best friend!

Hey hey! I love all animals but I'm partial to dogs. I have 2 of my own, both chihuahuas. They're 6 and 7 years old. I've had pets all my life. Large and small. I have quite a bit of experience in training and I love working on puppy manners. I have a soft spot for small dogs and pit bulls! I can't wait to meet your babies!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I don't usually care for other people's pets in my home. I prefer to do drop in visits and sit in the home of the owners.

I would definitely book with Melanie again to take care of my fur babies! This was my first time booking with her but it will not be my last!! She is very professional, compassionate, caring & on time to do the job. She takes her time & gives them the quality time that they need. She’s great with communicating things about your fur babies & she’s very friendly & attentive!! She was truly the answer to my prayers!!!

Melanie is one of the most caring, dependable, and compassionate people I know. She genuinely loves animals and treats every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. Whether it's making sure pets are comfortable, keeping them on their routine, or giving them plenty of affection and playtime, she always goes above and beyond. I would trust Melanie with my own pets without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

Please feel free to let me know if your babies have any special needs or if you have any special requests. No judgment. Yes, I'll add ice to your dog's water bowl if you'd like. 😁
