Friendly, active dog walker!

Pet care experience

First off, I love animals and am passionate about their care and protection. I grew up in a home with multiple cats, livestock, and exotic pets -- so animals have always been a part of my life. My first dream job was a veterinarian, and as I grew up I found that I love dogs despite not being able to have one at home until adulthood. I currently live with my boyfriend and our loving, vibrant 11-year-old Daschund-Beagle mix who gives us an insane amount of happiness. I'm an exercise nut and love to keep dogs happy and healthy by taking fun and interesting walks and letting them be in nature =) I'm happy to administer any needed medication for older doggies (with proper instruction) and will definitely treat your fur baby as my own when in my care. You can expect photos of your pup or kitty and I will keep them safe, happy, and entertained. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Melody has been such a great (and reliable) help to our family with our constantly changing schedules throughout this pandemic! She treats our dog like her own, is easy to trust, responsible, kind and friendly. We highly recommend her for any family that’s looking for that extra dog love and attention.

Melody was highly recommended to me by a friend to take my two dogs hiking, and I'm so glad she was referred because Melody is nothing short of spectacular with them! My dogs are super high energy and tend to be a lot for most people to handle, but Melody knew exactly what to do with, and get all their energy out before dropping them off to me. She has been such a lifesaver when I'm too busy to take my dogs to get the amount of exercise that they need. She also always sends photos and videos during their hikes which just gives me peace of mind during my busy work day that the dogs are taken care of.

Melody is such a loving and empathetic human being and I have seen that directly translated into how she interacts with animals. She is always there for her friends as an ear to listen and shoulder to cry on and she is one of the most selfless people I know. When I first saw her with the dog she co-owns with her boyfriend, it was clear that this dog was going to have an even happier life now that Melody was in it. Sometimes when you are the step-parent to a dog, it takes awhile for the dog to get used to you. However, in Melody's case, she spent so much time with Bodhi and took such extra special care with him that it didn't take long for him to love her like she was his own from the very start! From giving him treats, taking him out for walks, cleaning up after him on those walks, buying him a new, more comfortable leash, and special stairs to climb up to the bed (he is an older dachshund with short legs and isn't supposed to be jumping), Melody makes sure that he is a content and healthy pup. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter and caregiver and look forward to the new furry friends she is going to make!

Melody loves animals. She is reliable, conscientious, and trustworthy. You can depend on her to follow your pet care instructions to the letter. She's a devoted mom to her and her partner's elderly dog. She has taken excellent care of my cats and her sister's. Melody takes pride in doing things well, and goes the extra mile to give customers satisfaction.
