Information Melodi A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any issues that you want me to be aware of, I'll do my best to accommodate! The only three concerns I usually have are if your dog is friendly towards small dogs (because I have one), what their bathroom schedule is like, and their ability to sleep through the night.

A typical day

I normally walk around my neighborhood in Somerville. Sometimes if a dog is staying with us for a while, I'll take them on a drive to go out to the suburbs to visit my family or on other adventures (unless your pup doesn't like the car).

Pets

Dog owner who loves all dogs!

Pet care experience

I'm a researcher at Harvard and the happy owner of my own dog, Duke. I adopted him at the start of grad school in 2016 and it was the best decision I've ever made. Through Duke, I've learned how to care for very anxious dogs and am very patient when taking dogs out for walks. I'm happy to hang out with dogs of all ages and sizes, and if your dog is friendly and wants some company I'd be more than happy to bring Duke along on a walk.

Melodi was great! She took excellent care of my cockapoo. She’s very responsive and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her!
