Pet care experience

Your Pets, Treated Like Family

I've loved dogs and cats all my life, but I never knew the impact that a dog or cat can have on me. Got my first dog when I was 12: Vicky, a beautiful German Shepherd, and I fell in love instantly. It's been a love story ever since. My family has had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, and ferrets. I truly believe pets are our "happy place," and their unconditional love warrants that love to be reciprocated. I've watched family pets when family and friends have gone on vacation or need a drop-in babysitter. A family friend actually flies me to Florida while they are away so that I can watch their babies. It is a privilege to take care of your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly small dogs that will provide a safe place for them to roam, smell the grass and fresh air, and still be able to move and jump and run with two friends.

Melba has taken care of my two dogs multiple times. One of my dogs has significant medical issues. Melba has done an incredible job every time. She loves the dogs like they are her own. With Melba watching them my pups barely miss us when we are gone! I can’t recommend Melba highly enough to take care of your dogs!!!❤️🐾
