Pet care experience

Animal lover with yrs of experience

Let me pamper you fur baby! I've had pets my whole life and have pet sat professionally and for friends for many years. My husband and I recently had to say goodbye to our two older dogs, who crossed the rainbow bridge within 5 months of each other. We currently don't have any cats in our home either, but I have had them and cared for them for the majority of my life. I even have a couple of regular kitties I’ve watched in our home periodically. So for now, our home is both pet and child free. I have a lot of love and attention to give to your fur babies! I'm happy to board both cats and dogs, house sit, walk and check on your pets during the day and evening. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with health concerns. I’ve administered shots and given medication. Our big fenced in backyard is definitely enjoyed by all of the dogs who come stay with us. I work from home part-time, and have lot’s of time and love to give to your pets!

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter, Melody! She took excellent care of our two Border Collies, Finnegan and Olive, while we were away. Despite their energy and strong bond, she handled them with patience, kindness, and genuine care. Melody kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. We returned to relaxed, healthy dogs who had clearly received plenty of love and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Melody, for taking such great care of our pups!

Melody was awesome with Juno! I even received pictures of my pup while on vacation. She has a real nice yard for the pets to play. I will go with her again and she is super close to me too.

Melody was amazing! I didn't worry about my dog at all while she was watching him. She treated him like one of her own dogs and I am so grateful he was taken care of so well.

Melody is an incredible and reliable sitter! She seems to fall in love with each animal she meets, and the feeling appears to be mutual. She has been a very attentive sitter for our guy, Gecko, many times when we've been out of town, and he is always content and very apparently well cared for when we return. Melody even sends us pics and updates so we know all is well. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

Melody is a wonderful, compassionate individual who clearly loves animals. Our dogs are always excited to see her. She can be trusted to take care of them and provide the best possible care when we are away from home.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, strong dislikes, things that make them anxious, how frequently they need to go outside, if they’re potty trained, and how active they like to be. I need to know they get along well with small female dogs if they’re staying in my home as well.
