Information Melody S. would like to know about your pet

I have dealt with senior dogs, diabetic dogs, dogs that have seizures. My house is clean and my dogs are playful with other dogs. I have an Oldman dog who just likes to chill and sleep

A typical day

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.

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 😊
