Active dog loving empty nester

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and friends and family always call on my to board, walk, feed, bathe and medicate their dogs while away. Love all dogs big and small, young and old. I have 2 of my own but neighbors usually see me walking at least one more that is not mine. I do not work outside the home and am looking to turn my love of dogs into my day job. My schedule now revolves around my own dogs needs. I have a large house that is dog friendly with a fenced yard. My dogs are friendly and used to having other dogs in the house and spend the night. I walk my own dogs 2xs per day for at least 30min.

My husband and I have been so happy with the care Melody provides! This past weekend is a perfect example of her going above and beyond for us while we’re selling our home and had to go out of town. We appreciate her and she is our go-to sitter! Thank you 😊

Melody takes such good care of our dog. He gets long walks and excellent snuggles. He gets so excited when we arrive and runs around wagging his tail. She’s the best!!

Melody does an amazing job with our dog. He get so excited when I drop him off and I know that he will receive excellent care, lots of snuggles, toys, and nice long walks. I am very happy with Melody's care and definitely recommend her if you are looking for care for your fur babies!

A typical day

Depending on the weather, I love to take my dogs for long walks through the woods or off the normal sidewalk. I always change up my walks so the dogs get to smell new things. Doing the same walk every day gets boring for them and me. If your dog likes to play ball or chase frisbee then we shall do that. Open to everything.
