Pet care experience

Patient, cheerful, long walks.

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.

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!

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!

Melody is lovely with my Leo! She is very attentive and understanding of dog behavior and lets my very sniffy guy go on nose walks leading the way. He adores her and I love knowing my boy is well taken care of and getting his physical and mental exercise when I’m at work!

Schedule

I am retired and organize my day around the best weather for dog walking. I am in a pleasant neighborhood which includes a large off-leash dog play area (Creston Park) and a natural area around a lake (Reed Lake). I can also drive to your neighborhood, if prearranged.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Melody & Michael can host up to 2 walks per day
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.
