Rather be hanging with the animals!

Pet care experience

I started my pack 4 years ago and my love of dogs led me getting involved in animal rescue which I’ve done for 2 years. I have fostered over 20 dogs for days up to several months. Additionally, I am available to my rescue’s foster and adoptive families as a vacation foster throughout the year, as needed. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week. My weekends are also flexible enough to accommodate clients as needed for visits. I care for all animals as if they are my own which means their physical needs aren’t only met but they’re emotional ones as well. I always try to bond with the animals that I’m around and make myself the fun aunt. I definitely prefer to have a fun experience and will get down on the ground and enjoy the grass and dirt as much as the doggos. I am not as fast as I once was so usually the dogs end up catching me which is fun in itself! Currently, my job allows me to work from home so I am flexible for the majority of the day which allows me to accommodate clients. For my own dogs, I feed them twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. In between is made up of walks and playtime in the fenced yard.

Melody was wonderful! It only took Tilly a few minutes to become besties with Melody and begin begging for more belly rubs! Melody was sure to send many pictures of Tilly and keep me updated on how our girl was doing. We look forward to having her hangout again in the future!

This was our first time using Melody and we were so pleased with our experience! Our dog had some unexpected medical issues when we were away and Melody was very competent in dealing with these and keeping us informed. Her wealth of experience with dogs helped us to feel that our dog was in the best possible care while we were away. She communicated updates in a timely manner and sent pictures throughout. I would definitely recommend Melody and will be rebooking with her for future trips!

Melody took wonderful care of my cat, Ellie while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond pampering my sweet girl! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Information Melody G. would like to know about your pet

I would need to be aware of any special needs like medications, behavior triggers or modifications. If they are crate trained and housebroken. If they are or are not cat, dog, and people friendly. Favorite walking trails, toys, games.

A typical day

I love gaining the trust of animals and showing them they can trust me. I don’t mind getting down and dirty and rolling around and horse playing. I love games like catch but after the energy is expelled, I look forward to chilling out by snuggling on the couch and watching tv.
