Availability
I have plenty of opportunity to give your dog lots of love and walks. Because I work from home and can give your pet lots amount of attention and company, it is typically very easy for dogs to adjust to staying with me.

I have a fully fenced back yard with grass, and a covered ground level deck. Your dog must be friendly and compatible with other dogs.
Home
Information Melanie Z. would like to know about your pet
Please advise if your dog has any unique habits or behaviours I should be aware of. Letting me know what commands your dog understands is helpful. Please bring comfort items such as toys and a blanket from your house so your dog has something familiar from home which helps it get comfortable. Treats and poop bags are a must. A raincoat is very helpful for rainy days…plus who doesn’t like photos of dogs in raincoats! :) Your dog must be fully house trained. Because I work from home, I am unable to accommodate dogs that have severe separation anxiety or that bark a lot inside the home. I am also unable to accommodate dogs that heavily drool or slobber.
A typical day
I am an avid runner, walker, and fitness fanatic so whether your dog likes short walks or long walks and runs, I am happy to accommodate. I like to vary the walking routes and there are lots of different places to walk in my neighbourhood.

Pet care experience
Hello! I am an empty nester with a daughter away at university. I do limited boarding in my home during weekdays when available, drop in visits within a 2km radius, weekday daycare within the hours of 7am to 6pm, and dog walking. I have no pets of my own at this time, and can look after up to 2 dogs per day in my home. I live in a townhouse in the Hillcrest area of Cloverdale next to Clayton and have a fully fenced back yard. I am patient and loving, and am experienced with senior dogs. I do not smoke or drink. If you have specific care needs for your dog ie: frequency of potty breaks, walks, timing of treats and or meals, dietary needs, specific commands, amount and type of attention, and routines, I will ensure that your dog’s time in my home reflects your wishes. My home is clean and well kept and if your dog is allowed on your furniture, they are allowed on mine. :) I am very experienced with both large and small dogs and treat them like they are my best friend. I am a fitness fanatic, and no walk is too long or too short!! If your dog likes exercise I am more than happy to walk for as long as your dog is happy! I am also a photographer and LOVE taking photos of dogs so you will get lots of quality photos of your dog in my care. Send me a message and I’d love to do a meet and greet!
Reviews
I had to find someone to take care of Milky for a few hours at night, and Melanie kindly accepted him on very short notice. She took great care of him, took him for a long walk, and kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated. Even though it was only for a few hours, I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave Milky.
Thank you very much for always being so reliable and very nice with Louis and I. I really don’t know what we would do without you ♥️ I’ll keep you posted on my progress and text you when I go back to work or if I will need help before then. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year ♥️
Thank you for the last minute extra time with Louis ♥️
Would happily leave my pup with Melanie again.
