Safety, trust & environment

My home is an outdoor dog preferred home. We have ample space in our yard to run around, a large kennel with walking space and a large crate. We prefer that the dog is crate trained and listens to basic commands as this makes for a much easier transition to any new environment. Feel free to reach out to me if your dog needs any special accommodations and we will see what we can do!

Information Melvin K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how comfortable your dog will be with staying outside, how good they are with commands, and if they can be left alone without anxiety/barking. If your dog has allergies please let me know, and what kind of foods are okay. I hope your dog likes a big yard to play in 👍🏽

A typical day

I love to involve the dogs in my day! Activities such as walks in the valley, trips to the park and the beach with owner approval.

Pet care experience

Aloha! I'm Melvin, a dedicated and loving dog sitter who treats every pup like family. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I offer a calm, attentive, and joyful environment where your furry friend will feel safe and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company while you're away, I bring a touch of aloha to every visit. I value trust, communication, and the unique bond between dogs and their people—and I’m here to make sure your pup is happy, healthy, and wagging their tail when you return!

Melvin and his wife are great hosts and took great care of our dog. They have a big yard that allows for lots of play and exercise.

I normally don’t leave negative reviews, but I think it’s important to share my experience. Melvin agreed to watch my dog while I was out of town, but unfortunately ended up canceling the booking the night of the first day. This left me in a really difficult situation since I was already away and unable to physically pick up my dog. While I understand that it may have been a difficult situation, canceling on the first day without a clear emergency felt very unprofessional and extremely inconvenient. Traveling comes with enough stress as it is — having a sitter cancel last-minute after confirming the stay created a lot of unnecessary anxiety and scrambling. Just something to be aware of if you’re considering booking.
