Melissa the dog spoiler!

Pet care experience

Update: My beautiful baby Bella recently crossed the rainbow bridge on May 31, 2020. My name is Melissa and I am... (superhero entry music)... The Dog Spoiler! With me you get a two for one deal! Not only does your dog/s get a caregiver to provide them with lots of love and care, but they also get a day time playmate with my Bella! With that said, all dog/s must be dog friendly to stay in my home. I have a fenced in yard, which is great for early mornings. However, in the afternoons I prefer to take the dogs on different walk adventures to various parks so they get fully stimulated. My pet care background started in my childhood. I was fortunate to have grown up around various animals including cats, ponies, horses, and dogs. I have had dogs all of my life and am well equipped to be a trainer, but never got certified as such. My previous dogs include an English Mastiff and a Great Dane, both whom needed a lot of training when I first got them. **I have recently added on “In home pet-sitting” services, but only as long as it is okay that my dog accompanies me in my stay. I’m sure you can understand that I could never abandon my baby girl (Bella). ;-)

Melissa was amazing with my dogs. She even blew up an air mattress and slept with them, rather than her own bed, so they were comfortable and closer to the back door to go to the bathroom. I can’t say enough great things about her! She provided me updates of the dogs, without me asking, and sent me some adorable pics! I highly recommend her and I will definitely try to have her watch them again if she’s free ??? thanks again Melissa!

Melissa was able to help watch our puppy Marsi for a day while on a short weekend vacation in the Philadelphia area. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs while visiting the area. My dog was treated like a member of the royal family and got lots of attention. Melissa is exactly the kind of dog-loving person you want, she is very sweet and caring with the dogs, and you'll have no worries about your furry friend while on your trip. Thank you again Melissa! You are awesome!
