Pet care experience

Caring, reliable pet sitter.

My daughter Charlotte and I work as a team to accomplish all your pets needs. Melonie-i’ve taken care of pets all my life. Most recently I was the office Manager at an animal hospital, leaving after 3years because I had outgrown the position. I have been involved with bathing, kennel care, dog training, puppy care, senior care and animals with special needs. I have a background with diabetic animals and am able to administer insulin when needed. Charlotte- I specialize in exotic animals, and Large dog breeds. i have experience in kennel, bathing ( I did pet grooming for 3 years ), aggressive animal handling, puppy care and senior care, as Melonie stated we can administer insulin, as we've both had veterinarian experience and my childhood cat also was a diabetic. I've always had a love for animals and would love to take care of all your animals needs and have you at ease while away.

Melanie came through for me during a last minute family emergency. Communicated well, sent pics. My girl seemed very happy when I picked her up.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 23, 2025

Melanie, was great! When I left magic he was a little shy. But then learned that he was doing great. Thru pictures and text messages. Took him a second time and this little guy was super excited to be there again. It was a great feeling and weight off my shoulders to see he wanted to be there. My day at work was not as stressful because I wasn't worries about magic. I know he is in good hands when he's with her.. thank you melonie..

Melonie is always great with our animals. She consistently provides excellent care and we are able to enjoy our time away knowing our animals are in great hands.

Danny Boy was happy to see me when I picked him up but he looked forlorn as soon as we got home and he realized his playmates (Alice and Pumpkin), were not there.

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs interests. We would go for walks and possible head to the dog park for some adventures. Fido will be in charge. if you are wanting to board at our home, We love a good couch snuggle here. Dogs, cats, whatever animal you have is allowed on the couches, beds, rugs, unless you wouldn't want them to break a routine/rule you have at your house. coming soon--We are currently renovating our garage to be the ultimate dog pad. that would include, padded floors, food and water station, couches for relaxing and napping, crates ( if requested ) will be fully air conditioned, there will be toys, bones whatever your dog would prefer. this will just be an addition, not where dogs will stay.
