Years of competitive riding experience and working with horses since 2000 - animal care is second nature to me.
12+ years of dog-sitting experience, and every dog that stays with me has an absolute blast.
More affordable than most boarding or pet-care facilities, with far more personal attention.
Proud pet parent to 2 cats and 1 dog - I treat your animals like my own.
If your dog uses a crate, just pack it along to help them feel at home.
Every dog goes home with a fun "report card" so you know how their stay went.
I truly love all animals, big or small - they're family to me.

Meet Melanie: A Lifelong Love Story with Animals.
Melanie's heart has always belonged to animals. As a highly functional, 36-year-old with special needs, she found her true purpose by turning her passion into a dedicated pet care service.
She brings a lifetime of hands-on experience, including fostering cats and dogs and share boarding horses. While she volunteers with animals at local barns, offering in-home dog watching allows her to follow her calling and connect with every pet personally. This is more than a job—it's genuine, heart-centered care.
We prioritize the happiness and well-being of every dog in our care. Our service reflects Melanie's genuine commitment to personalized attention and a loving home environment. Your dog will enjoy constant supervision, plenty of play, and the best value in the neighborhood.
Melanie typically watches anywhere from 1-5 dogs at a time and can safely handle up to 7, ensuring focused, quality interaction for every guest.

Melanie is simply the best! Her genuine love for my dog is obvious, and the price is unbeatable. It's truly care from the heart.
We never worry when our pup is with Melanie. She gets more one-on-one attention than at a kennel, and she always comes home happy and relaxed.
It's incredible that we can get such experienced and loving care for just $65 a day. Knowing our dog is with someone who truly loves animals is priceless.
Happy Dogs with Melanie.
