Pet care experience

Excited to love on your fur baby!

My name is Melody, I’ve been in Charleston for 10 years and work as a Nurse Practitioner. I offer dog walks, drop ins, and dog boarding. My sweet chocolate lab Sadie recently passed away at 14 and I miss that doggie energy around the house! It’s my favorite to love on doggies of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised Sadie since 8 weeks old so I understand that dogs need lots of love, patience, treats, and exercise. I work from home most days so I’m flexible about what times I can come by and walk or visit with your pup. Or, drop them off and let me exercise them around my fenced in yard throughout the day. I can’t wait to meet your little muffin!

Many thanks to Melody and family for Calinette's staycation. Her time with you all was greatly appreciated as she can no longer travel with me.

Melody was great to work with. She communicated in a timely manner. She sent pictures when Auberon stayed with her for doggie daycare and then again for an over night. Auberon was excited to go back the second day for his overnight visit. A dog owner is always happy when their dog is happy. Leaving Auberon with Melody gave me peace of mind. It gave me a chance to visit Charleston without worrying about him. Thank you!

Myself and my husband work from home most days. I do have a 6 yr old and a 3yr old child, who are great with the pups, so the doggie will need to be good with kids. Im available to spend lots of time with your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard and live on a cul de sac. Our house was home to a 70lb dog for many years so we’re no stranger to the doggie lifestyle.

A typical day

I am available to spend time and love on your doggie. I live in a big neighborhood with lots of sidewalks, and a decent size yard. We can do multiple walks a day if needed and the dog can go in and out of our fenced in back yard as they please!
