Melody is amazing with our dog, we never have to worry about if she is being taken care of or not. Our timid girl loves spending time with her. Thank you!!!

Melody provided the very best care for my two babies. She has the right environment to give your pets what they need while you are away and will keep you posted with pictures of their daily lives so you can relax.

Melody was absolutely wonderful! I got updates and pictures and videos. I was so surprised to see my dogs socializing with her dogs. I did feel so bad for her, my dog Ted is a hunter and found some critters under the house and it took her until 11:00pm to get him out. But she gave him a time out and said he was welcome back. Now that it some patience! Thank you so much Melody! You were a real gift 😊

Schedule

I am a homebody, so I like to sit in the yard with my dogs and enjoy the sunshine. They have free range to go in and out on their own or chill in the house when it is hot. We play a lot and rest a lot!

Safety, trust & environment

My backyard is large and fully fenced. I have a 3-pound dog that cannot get out, so I know it is safe for all sizes. I have a security system that I always use, and the neighborhood is very secure.

Pets

I have a great backyard for running and playing. Chasing balls is one of my dogs favorite things. My neighborhood is calm and mostly traffic free for walking groups of dogs.
