Pet care experience

Who let the dogs IN? I did! W/love

Growing up, my family always had dogs. I often would help my uncle care for his 2 large dogs. As a teenager, I frequently house sat neighbor's and friends dogs for multiple days at time while they went away for work or vacation. They grew to love me. Now I have two dogs of my own, June & Jade! June is an Australian Cattle Dog/Lab mix & Jade is a cockapoo! I am here to offer that same love, care, and patience to your dogs as I have mine. I have experience in walking, bathing, and grooming different breeds of dogs. I think that I had pretty good relationships with the pets. I am here to help your pet feel just as loved as if you were caring for him or her. Whatever you need, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to let the dogs in with love.

Took great care of my pup! Highly recommend especially if you’re going out of town for an extended duration.

Melodie takes excellent care of my two boys. I never have to worry about my boys. I am not sure of the exact type of things that they do. But the next morning, both of boys slept until 10:30 am. All of their materials I gave to Melodie were returned me. She is very professional and knows just what each of my boys needs.

Melodie was great and our dog Luke seemed to have had the greatest time with her. Will definitely book again!
