Highly experienced, dog lover!

Pet care experience

My husband, Kyle and I live in the Arrowhead, Glendale area. I’m a local psychotherapist with a very flexible scheudle. My husband is a local medical provider. We have a Puggle named Layla and 2 rescued French Bulldogs named Leo and Silas. I have been a dog lover since birth. I’ve worked with several animal rescues since my early 20’s and have fostered numerous dogs over the years. I have experience working with dogs who have behavioral or anxiety issues. During my years of fostering dogs, I was able to provide a type of "doggy mental health" in reducing behavioral concerns. My experience as a mental health therapist to humans has helped me connect with owners and dogs in similar ways. I tend to have a heart for the special needs dogs. I had a rescued, licensed therapy dog with Spina Bifida that passed away last year. I don’t mind providing special care needs for your pup. I have experience with administering medications and injections, Senior dogs are loved! ***Currently only accepting dogs that are fully house trained and spayed/neutered. Contact me with special circumstances however.***

Information Melody M. would like to know about your pet

I strive to provide the absolute best care possible for your fur baby. The more information and detail provided to me will help me do that. I would like to have information regarding your dog's updated vaccination and health information. For dogs with specific health needs, detailed information on providing thorough care for them will be essential. Any medications or supplements given with a schedule will be helpful, along with information on any allergies or food intolerances. I would like to have your vet contact information in cases of emergency and discuss emergency procedures with you prior to. I'm very considerate of breed specific needs as well. I’m always cautious of possibility for overheating in dogs and ground temp safety for paws in this climate. I look forward to hearing more about your dog's personality- their likes/dislikes, behavioral concerns, things they enjoy, things that make them feel happy and secure. What is their daily routine? We will discuss any other information that you think would help me make your dog more comfortable.

A typical day

I’m very active and enjoy running and hiking. I would be glad to run, walk, or hike along with your fur baby. I would also enjoy snuggle time or couch potato time with your dog. I can modify or establish routines specific for your dog’s needs. We can also go for extended outings in the neighborhood or community if requested. I specifically research dog-friendly places on a regular basis and would be glad to take your dog out to places they may enjoy. I look forward to giving lots of love and specialized attention to your baby! If they like lots of belly rubs, I'll give them in abundance... If they prefer to keep to themselves, I'll give them their space!
