Pet care experience
I have had multiple dogs in my life since I was a kid. I grew up with 2 dogs in the home and have had experience sitting for my siblings' dogs. When I finally bought a house 2 years ago, the first thing I did was go adopt my own puppy. Recently I fostered a couple dogs for a local rescue, so I am familiar with potty training and training of basic commands.
Reviews
Melissa took great care of my dog for a week and sent pictures and had clear communication the whole time. Was also flexible with drop off and pick up times changing!
Melissa provided excellent care for my dogs while I was away. Her updates were reassuring, and her work-from-home setup likely made my pups feel right at home. Returning to happy dogs was the best confirmation of her exceptional service. Highly recommended!
Melissa was great with Max. I will definitely use her again. She kept in communication with me the entire. We really appreciate her service.
Melissa did an excellent job. Would recommend her !
About Melissa S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a crate if needed plus I have part of my home gated off in case there needs to be separation. I also have two spare bedrooms that can be used as safe spaces to reduce anxiety. My yard is not fenced (yet) but I have two long tie out leashes and never leave other dogs unattended outside. Having brought other animals into my home temporarily before, I understand the process of the pets meeting and getting to know each other and will take all precautions to avoid negative reactions.

I have a great neighborhood to go for walks. My dog loves to play as well. I have lots of toys including interactive ones to keep the mind and nose stimulated.
