Personalized care for your dog or cat - Melder

“Ashely did a great job with Paisley. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the day and answered any questions we had. We’ll definitely book with her again, we also recommend her to anyone else!”

Eric J.

“I was so nervous due to using Rover for the first time for my 4 month old puppy but Savannah made me feel at ease, immediately. She sent me pictures/updates throughout the day and eased all the anxieties I did have. He was so relaxed and tired after I picked him from a fun-filled day with other dachshunds. Made me beyond happy knowing my boy had a good day. Will absolutely use again.”

Amanda G.

“This is our first time using Jenny for boarding. She answered all our questions and even sent a photo of the space our dogs would play in before we booked. Jenny was quick to reply, shared photos of our dogs during their entire visit, and was very kind to our entire family. Her vet experience is a plus. Our dogs were all happy wags upon pickup and we will definitely book her for future requests.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.

About: I’m a teacher, lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you total peace of mind. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, couch cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like family. Plus, expect plenty of photo updates because I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away! I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. So I have lots of time to care for pets! Whether that is drop-in visits or going on walks. Available on weekdays and weekends. Please request to schedule in advance due to trips or dates J may not be available! Our house is a home to dogs only, as my husband and I are both unfortunately allergic to cats. Our dogs get yearly vaccinations and are free from fleas and heart worms, and they LOVE guests as they are very friendly and well-trained. I am available to have overnight sitting if your pet is comfortable with other dogs.

“Took great care of our fur babies. We have very old dogs that need extra attention and she did just that. Will use again if ever the need again”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats since I was a kid, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I truly love anything that purrs! Over the past two years, I’ve been the go-to cat sitter for my family, who trust me completely with their pets. I’ve often been called a ‘cat whisperer’ because cats tend to feel comfortable around me right away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet with someone else. That’s why I truly care about keeping you updated with photos and little check-ins, so you always know your cat is safe, happy, and loved 😻

“Heather does a great job, always reliable and my pups are happy and healthy when I get home. Takes great pics too :)”

Shannon S.

About: For as long as I can remember , i’ve always had a pup/doggy growing up! There’s never a day that I was not around a dog! I’ve had a Golden Retriever , Pugs , Pit Bulls , Poodle , & others. What sets me apart from other sitters is that i’m very aware at all times & I make sure I tend to what they’re wanting no matter what it is . I’m a very communicative woman . I know they do understand what i'm saying . I do have experience in training !! I am available anytime , any day of the week ! I do not have anything that separates me from being able to care for your pup ! I take them out to potty every other hour or so , even if they don't have to use the restroom , it’ll be good for them to talk a walk . stretch their legs . get some fresh air . they will be fed according to their parents needs/wants! I can & will bathe them if needed !!

About: I own 5 dogs of my own, one was bought and had her two puppies, the other two are adopted! They’re names are Bella, Lulu, Juggs, Marley, and Bentley. I love dogs and cats, you wouldn’t believe how many funny dog and cat pictures I have in my phone. All of them are exceedingly kind, so no worries, but they do love walks! I also have Lulu, who has seizures and takes medicine twice a day, so I’m used to attending to dogs with medical needs. They walk at least twice a day, and love going to the park. I also have 4 cats, as one of them had babies before she was fixed and now I have those two as well. Taughee, Leia, Amelia, and Moonlight. All up to date on shots. My sister is going to be a vet, and I help at her Vet’s office as well sometimes. I love animals, and will gladly let your fur baby feel at home, and will enjoy seeing them!

“Our 4 month old Goldendoodle, Maggie, has gone to Ashley's house twice already for play days and has had a BLAST!! She plays hard all day and comes home exhausted!! Ashley's dogs are all well behaved and sweet so Maggie is getting some GREAT socialization which is important to us. Ashley's house and yard are set up well for the dogs. We will definitely bring Maggie back for play days on a regular basis!! SO THANKFUL for Ashley!!”

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom of 5+ years and totally understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. I’ve had my Italian Spitz since she was a tiny fluffball, so I’ve been through all the puppy stages that includes lots of zoomies, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles 🥰 . Being hands-on from day one has taught me how important routines, patience, and giving each dog the attention they deserve really are. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My husband and I make sure every dog gets as many walks, potty breaks, and play sessions as they need, plus lots of one-on-one attention. I’m also big on updates, so you can expect frequent photos and messages showing your dog having a great time! My goal is for you to relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun 😌 I work from home during the week, which means I’m around most of the day to give pups the attention they need. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get timely walks, potty breaks, and lots of check-ins throughout the day. I have a good-sized, fully fenced backyard where your pups can safely run around, play, and burn off energy. Also, if your dog is a couch or bed cuddler at home, they’re welcome to be one here too.

“Very sweet and always sending me updates. Thank you for taking such good care of Coco!”

About: I’ve taken care of my boyfriend 2 dogs for a year every time I visit. He is so energetic and so happy every time he sees me step foot in the door I’m a late graduate student who has nothing to do with my time. Pet setting is something fun that I would really enjoy so I am open to pet sit at any time! I don’t really own any pets but I have a big backyard that is well fenced that your puppies have all the room they can run around.

About: I've had my dog for about four years now, and I'm knowledgeable about how to administer worm medicine, and flea and tick medicine. I'm also a Certified Veterinary Assistant who loves all animals, especially dogs. I've done research on dog breeds and learned what disorders certain dog breeds are predisposed to so that I can take the necessary precautions and preventative care to potentially delay and / or mitigate the severity of the disorder. All brands of preventative care are good, but I like nexgard for fleas and ticks. For intestinal parasites and heartworm, I like and have had good experiences with interceptor plus. I love buying treats, toys, and spoiling all animals. Right now, I have open availability except for Wednesday and Sunday. Other than that, I have all the free time in the world. I can do morning, afternoon, evening, and night time. I currently don't have any pets, but if I did, I take my dog for walks in my neighborhood. Take them for potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Give treats, cuddle if they want to cuddle, and give them attention, and follow directions of the pet owner.

About: I can train basic commands like sit ,stay and come and proper leash walking. I’ve been around dogs since 8 years old and feel very comfortable with them. I love animals and will never been without one! I work for myself so I’m very flexible and I have time to spare for others in emergency needs or last minute notices. I require a 24 hour notice minimum. I have a 5lb toy poodle that’s very friendly and playful. I’m work from home. Supervision is 24/7 or as needed. If pets would need to stay with me, I do live in apartment that is carpeted so they would have to be potty trained…untrained puppies would have to be boarded at their own living quarters.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. Pets are like family and should be treated accordingly. I grew up with two adorable Winnie dogs named Brownie and Tootie, as well as two precious cats named Mr. Beans and Rosie. I treated them all as my babies and cherished them dearly. When it comes to caring for your pet, I promise to give it the same love and affection. I will provide plenty of treats, and of course plenty of hugs and kisses. Your pet is welcome on my furniture, and they'll always receive a warm welcome. I accept same day and last min bookings! I have plenty of time for your pets with an open schedule. My schedule is open all hours for your needs. I also have my phone on me at all times. I have a crate if needed and lots of toys and treats to provide as well as attention and love.
