Pet care experience

Enjoying life with animals.

I am now living in Minneapolis and love my time here. I have had dogs for most of my life. I love having them around to play with. I have been a house and pet sitter for about four years and have a couple of regular people. I am looking to expand what I am doing to include dog walking. I work in the emergency management field and know how to work with animals in stressful situations for those that think their pets may be difficult. When I lived in Colorado, I took care of two dogs for an owner who believed one of her dogs was challenging and took time for him to get used to new people (and that was if he liked them in the first place). He and I got along from my first visit. During the first visit, she was surprised that he came and sat next to me after about 15 minutes. I work Monday to Friday from 8 AM - 4:30 PM. I make sure your pets go out before I leave for work and they are my priority once my work day has ended. I am happy to stay at your place if wanted. This can make things easier and less stressful for your pet. I am willing to work with you if there is some other situation you are looking for.

Thanks to Melody for a great job in giving me peace of mind while away. Dutch and Jeter we’re well taken care of. I would use Melody again and would refer her to my family and friends.

Melody was great to work with, quickly responded to texts, friendly and JellyBean loved her. I will gladly reach out to her for a future dogsitting need.

Melody has been great watching our dogs numerous times while we have been out of town. Our dogs are not that easy to handle either, we have 2 larger dogs (pit bull terriers) who are very loving but can be a handful since they are both under 3 years old. The dogs are comfortable with her and get excited when she sees them. I get updates via text messages on how the dogs are doing and sometimes photos. She has listen to what we have told her with dealing with the dogs and she has had no issues. She watches them at our house so they are more comfortable. She is great and pays attention to the dogs while we are gone. We trust her to continue watching them and we know they will be in good hands with her watching them. You definitely won't go wrong picking Melody to watch your dogs

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am happy to watch any breed. I have had a positive time working with dogs that may not like others.
