I will treat yours as my own!

Pet care experience

I have four of my own dogs at the moment. I have had dogs all of my life. From little dachshunds to Rotties and German Shepherds and everything in between. I have been working with a Rescue, and fostering the dogs or puppies who do not get adopted at the end of the event. My goal was to give them a home in which they were able to live like a dog and not in a kennel in hopes I could get them adopted to their fur-ever family. It also helped that they could bond with my dogs and get used to being around people in my home as well as different dogs in my home. Any dog is a family memeber and I will treat them as such. My dogs sleep in my room with me, someone has to keep your feet warm! I will watch additional animals such as rabbits, goats, reptiles, etc. We can talk pricing, and am very negotiable with extra animals outside cats and dogs. If anything, message me and we can work something out! Communication is key- you are a a vacation, a weekend trip, or an emergency situation arises and you want to trust that someone is there to keep your pets safe, nurtured, and loved. I love sending photos and updates on everyone. Did your pup do something silly and make me laugh? Gonna tell you about it! Were they really timid and warmed up to their colorful self- I want to brag about how well they are doing! Even cases where they don't seem to be themselves or even something as a minor scratch on their paw from playing- I want you to know about as much as I can tell you. My job is take care of your animals so you do not have to worry. My reviews and repeat clients speak for the way I will care for your animals. I've become friends with many owners and even have checked up on each other outside of visits. It takes a village, and that what is needed in todays world! Reach out and let's set up a meet and greet 😊

Unfortunately this was not a good experience. Melody has watched my dogs a couple of times before and they always seemed OVERLY anxious when we got home. The most recent time, Neighbors reported that Melody was not at our home when she was reporting that she was and she was not staying overnight as was the plan with the booking. She would only come for very short periods 5-10 min a couple of times a day. The icing on the cake was that my Husband's Class Ring from the United States Military Academy was missing after her last stay. Would not suggest booking. I see that she is now not listed as an option for Rover, which is not surprising at all!!!

No breed preferences here ? I welcome all dogs, as long as they get along with people and dogs. If you have any aggressive traits, let's still talk. I've worked with others in the past and have done multiple meets ahead of time or worked out overnights at their homes.

A typical day

We have a huge, gated back yard the dogs run constantly in. Unfortunately chasing birds and squirrels is a past time in the yard! We have frisbees, balls, squeaker toys, bones, ropes a bunch of toys they can play with!
