I love dogs and they love me

Pet care experience

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.

Melody is an excellent sitter. Doc is very high energy and requires a lot of attention. Melody would send pictures and updates of how Doc was doing. I could tell in the pictures that he was comfortable with her and having a good time. I really appreciate Melody and all the time and energy she put into taking care of Doc.

Melody was an absolute godsend. After a dog fight upended all our plans for a complicated vacation/family funeral/international move, melody was able to help us with our independent doggo. We loved all her updates and our pup returned happy and healthy.

Melody was an absolute blessing and we could not have happier! She took us as a last minute booking, as our normal sitter was unable to take our dog. Sadie has never stayed with someone she didn’t know before and Melody made her and us feel very comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you again Melody for taking care of our anxious girl and treating her like your own!

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?

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.
