Pet care experience

My biggest concern is that you know your pet is in great hands while you are away. Your pet will be at home while staying with me. They have access to all furniture and comfortable places. We have a fenced in yard. I have been an animal lover all my life and have 10+ years experience that consists of; working at an SPCA, full time dog-walker, full time pet-sitter, and all the in between! We live in a lovely walkable neighborhood and do three walks a day. My dog Belli is the sweetest and loves every dog and cat she’s ever met! She is submissive, and extremely friendly. She will play, lay or run around with your pet. She will keep your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. I feel it makes the missing you less for them since they’re busy playing and happy! My previous clients will tell you how great I am with communicating. I will provide photos often and communicate promptly. I know how important it is to know your baby is in the best hands and provide updates throughout the day as well as an end of day summary and sign off. I only take 2 dogs at a time so your pup will be ensured to get attention, care and will never be alone while staying with us. Please reach out with any further questions. Please note I will charge a cleaning fee if your pet has excessive accidents that were not planned for.

My dogs had a great time, and looked very happy when I picked them up. Melanie was very responsive and also sent lots of pictures while I was away.

Melanie was great and Lucky was well taken care of. Thank you for sending all the pictures and videos! I hate to be away from Lucky, but you made it easier and gave me peace of mind. He had a great time and came home tired! I will definitely book with you again if needed. Thank you so much and your warm personality and comforting style was so helpful. Also thanks to Belli for keeping him company and active!
