My name is Mel T. and I can't wait to get outside with your dog! I grew up with a Dachshund named Zeke and have always enjoyed being the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family. I am ready to run the energy out of puppies and also have experience with old dogs and special needs, for example my best friend's dog, Sadie, who has hip displatia. When I care for her I have to pay special attention to get her the right kind of exercise, medications and massages. My fiance's sweet Golden Retriever had frequent seizures and I was able to help her through them. My brother's dog, Kinder, is a beautiful Border Collie puppy who thinks she's a lap dog. Her endless energy taught me how to become the leader. Now that you've heard about the great dogs in my life, I hope I'll get the opportunity to meet the one in yours!
