By

Meet Mel - she's both a professional dog trainer and a trusted house sitter. With years of experience and a calm, confident approach, she brings thoughtful structure, enrichment, and personalized care to every pup she watches.

Mel has been a trusted part of the Bed and BARKfest team for many years, and there’s a reason our clients absolutely love her. She started out with glowing reviews and an incredible ability to connect with every dog she met. From the beginning, it was clear that dog care wasn’t just a job for Mel. It was a calling.

She has since turned that passion into a full-time career. Mel has been working as a professional dog trainer with From the Heart Dog Training for the past two years. During nights and weekends, she continues to serve as one of our go-to house sitters, offering the kind of care that truly stands out.

When Mel is on a sit, your dog is in for a treat. Think long walks, thoughtful enrichment, and personalized routines tailored to your pup’s unique needs. She knows how to read dogs, understands what helps them thrive, and makes sure they’re not just safe and comfortable, but genuinely happy.

Like all Bed and BARKfest sitters, Mel takes pride in keeping your home clean, secure, and cared for while you’re away. Clients rave about coming home to a peaceful, clean space and a very content dog.

Mel brings it all together. Years of experience, a deep love for dogs, and the professional knowledge to make every visit exceptional. We are lucky to have her, and your pup will be too.
