Pet care experience

I’ve been in the dog world for over 20 years, and my passion runs deep — especially for Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers. I’m also a certified therapy dog handler, and I bring that same calm, caring energy into everything I do with the dogs I care for. From handling and walking to running, playing fetch, and basic training, I’ve done it all. I focus on providing a warm, personalized experience where every dog feels like part of the family. I have two small children at home, so all dogs must be kid- and dog-friendly to ensure a peaceful, happy environment. Your pup will enjoy time on our large, gated patio and plenty of one-on-one attention. I never take more than 3 dogs at a time so I can provide a safe, stress-free experience tailored to each dog’s needs. I already have a number of regular clients and tend to book up quickly, so if you’re looking for a reliable, experienced caregiver who treats your dog like one of their own — I’d love to connect!

Melody is great with our dog Luna! Luna has stayed with her and Harper a couple of times, and she absolutely loves it. Melody has also walked Luna when we couldn’t get home in a pinch, and we came home to a tired, happy dog. She’s communicative, caring and diligent.

Melody was great! I received photos at least once a day. I would definately recommend her to care for your pet.

Melody took great care of Siggy during her stay. Siggy can be a little shy, but she settled in well and really enjoyed spending time with Melody’s dog, Harper. Melody kept me updated and I felt confident Siggy was in good hands.

Siggy can be a little shy in new situations, but she warmed up quickly to Melody and Harper. I could tell in the pics that Melody sent that Siggy was comfortable and having a fun time. Knowing this allowed me to enjoy my vacation so much more. Will definitely book Melody again.
