Cheery and experienced dog lover

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since I was four- in fact, my entire family is full of dog people! I have experience with both large and small breeds (Corgi, Dachshund, Labs, Pit-bull mixes, Rottweilers, and Border Collies, to name a few). For about the past 8 years I have periodically taken care of dogs in my family, my neighbor's dogs, and friends of the family's dogs. This includes feeding, letting them out for bathroom breaks, walks, overnight stays, and regular interaction and play. I work as a pharmacy technician, which means I will be gone 8 hours a day during the weekday (generally around 9-5pm). I am available for dog walks on the weekends and in the evenings, and during overnight stays I can walk in the morning as well.

My dogs loved Melody! She sends photos and videos showing how they are getting cuddles or playing. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Information Melody H. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences, but I believe that knowledge is the forerunner to success in any endeavor. Following that, I would like to know your habits and routines with your dog, favorite toys, whether the dog is given treats, the energy level of the dog, whether you would like me to allow people to pet them during walks, etc.

A typical day

I love going on walks, so there will be plenty of time outside for your dogs! I'm willing to go to any parks that you would prefer for your dog, or just taking them on a walk around the neighborhood.
