Pet care experience

Did somebody say "Play Ball"?

I am a seasoned petsitter with close to 30 years experience. I have 3 children still at home and three dogs. I have experience with medical needs animals and have no problem giving shots or fluids. I live in Okolona and have a large fenced yard in which your dog would love to play. I treat the animals that come into my home as my own. Your pooch will love all the attention it receives from us! Please check out my reviews and repeat clients. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Also, if you book with me, you can book with confidence in knowing that I offer a FULL refund should your plans change. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You can drop-off as early as 6am and pick-up as late as 8pm. I do ask that your pet be fully vaccinated, including Bordetella. I do not work outside the home. I offer pet care on a full-time basis. Your pet will have ample play time and lots of socialization while vacationing with me. Your pet is treated as my own when staying with me. I have a secure dog area in my backyard along with privacy fencing around the perimeter. Lots of daily exercise and playtime is given.

Melody is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of our girl Bonnie Rue, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were so nervous about leaving her with someone new given she’s only a few months old, but Melody put all our worries to rest. Bonnie had a blast, made tons of new friends, and came home a happy pup. Melody came highly recommended by a couple of friends, and now we completely understand why, we’re beyond grateful we found her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, your fur babies are in the best possible hands here. 🫶🏽❤️

Melody is a complete pro! She provided plenty of pictures and was the nicest sitter we’ve worked with! I have a super energetic 6 month old german shepherd who had a blast with the other dogs.
