Safety, trust & environment

We have a regular dog that we care for in our home and she is not dog-friendly. So, we are not accepting other dogs for boarding except when she is not here. We are particularly patient and supportive with a dog that has separation anxiety, is high-strung or attention demanding. It would also be lovely to have an easy dog in my life sometimes!

Information Melody & Michael H. would like to know about your pet

Of course, please let me know if your dog has any quirks or particular needs to work around. I've had a range of experience, so I'm sure we'll both have a good time.

A typical day

I like to focus on walks of 45 minutes to 75 minutes, with lots of opportunities for sniffing. I like to change routes so it is interesting for the dog. I live in a safe cheerful neighborhood, close to several parks. For walks of 45 minutes or longer, I can also drive to your house if you prefer.

Location

Melody & Michael H.'s Local Area

Patient, cheerful, long walks.

Pet care experience

As a retiree, I can be very flexible to support your busy schedule. I am patient, warm and experienced with dogs. Dog walking is my preferred mode of personal exercise. I generally walk only one dog at a time. Our late Tibetan Terrier was high strung, so I am good with dogs who are a little different.

Melody is a lifesaver! I was too sick to take my dog out and she came right over and walked him in the rain. Thank you, Melody!

Melody went over and beyond for my two pups. I forgot to give her the gate code and she jumped the fence saving the day by relieving them. Thank you Melody!

Melody went above and beyond by walking my dog for longer than the scheduled time. Both me and my dog appreciated her extra time and care. Would definitely book her again!
