“Melissa was awesome! We were gone for a week on a cruise and she sent updates and photos even though we didn’t have service. She totally went above and beyond for our puppies!! She even bought our boys a new bed after one decided the old one looked good enough to play with. I would 1000% recommend her, and have her house/puppy sit again.”

About: I have grown up with Dogs my entire life! My first job was at a doggy daycare and have multiple experiences with many many breeds.I have grown up around horses, dogs, cats, cows, goats, pigs, and chickens. My compassion for animals is undescribable. I am willing to take on many responsibilities and also willing to be flexible with what is needed. I am willing to take on many responsibilities and different schedules as long as it is agreed upon and talked beforehand. I am capable of doing short notice, but no shorter than two days before hand as I have my own pets at home. my dogs have a daily routine between meals, play and exercise. Attention is never forgotten, and they are the most loved beings in the household.
