I love dogs and they love me

I treat dogs like a family member. Love to play with them. Love to walk them. Their unconditional love is amazing. Every dog i come in contact with loves me and I love that. I'm like a dog whisperer. I am a dog person to the core. Your dogs needs come first. I wake and sleep as their schedule dictates. I like to give lots of treats. I enjoy playing and getting tons of pup kisses. If they’re ok with the car. I’ll take them to walk on trails, weather permitting. When I have a furry guest here I let them sleep with me. Doesn't bother me at all. Easy to get attached.

We cannot say enough good things about Melody. My wife had to have surgery and we had never left our dog before. The way that Melody was so sweet and caring to our dog took a stressful situation and gave us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend her and will be using her services again!

I had a great experience with Melody! She had excellent communication from the start and consistently kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the five nights my dog stayed with her. I was pretty anxious at first since I was going to be out of the country and it was my first time leaving my dog with her, but Melody made the whole process so much easier and more comfortable. It was clear my dog was well cared for and happy. Everything worked out perfectly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Melody was nothing but wonderful with our sweet but highly anxious dog. She does a meet & greet prior to the date of drop off to get your dog comfortable and more familiar with her home - this made us feel very reassured she would be in good hands. Melody gave us daily updates with the best pictures and videos of our pup…who could not have looked happier!! Would recommend her & will be using her again in the future!

Melody took great care of our puppy. Remi is highly energetic. Melody did a great job taking her on regular walks through trails and paying special attention to our girl.

We used Rover for the first time and booked with Melody. She was great with Dunder during our meet and greet but I was still super nervous to leave him over our Christmas break. She provided daily updates, pictures, and was super responsive when I would check in on him. Recommend her if you need pet sitter.

Schedule

The pet's needs usually dictate what we do and don't do. If they like to walk, I'll walk around the neighborhood and there's also a trail close by that I walk them on. If they prefer to play inside, we do that as well.

Safety, trust & environment

They usually have the run of the house. They are allowed on furniture and can sleep with me if they choose. I have stairs for the bed for smaller dogs. I will also share "people" food unless told not to.

A typical day

I take dogs for frequent walks. Weather permitting, I'll walk them on a trail. Will play fetch as well. There's a park I can take them to where I can take them off leash and let them run around.

Would like to know how they are with other animals, as there are a lot of dogs in my neighborhood we might see when walking. Also, are they people friendly?
