About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my life , animals truly make me so happy and I hope to give them as much care and joy as they unconditionally give. I’m a soldier in the WV Army National Guard. I have a puppy of my own, Leo (5mo Dalmatian). We work on basic commands and manner, I clip his toe nails and brush his teeth. I have no issue providing those services if needed! I’m currently working full time as well as Drill weekends for the WV Army National Guard so drop ins and weekend pet stays at my home are ideal. I have 3 cats of my own and one puppy, they’re my favorite babies ever. Ideally boarding at my home is preferred especially dogs who are crate trained.

“Melissa has been wonderful! My pups are happy and well cared for! She has been flexible with my crazy schedule and oh so sweet. I feel that having her take care of my pups while I’m at work gives me peace of mind to focus on my job without having to worry if my fur babies are okay. Will hire her again and again!”
