Pro Pooch Lover & Home Protector

Pet care experience

First, a fun fact (and a sweet bonus!): One of my very first jobs was as a professional pet photographer. As a little added extra for those who book me for 5 days or more, I'll include a digital portrait of your most loyal friend(s) at no charge. Whatever your pooch needs, I've got it covered. I've loved and owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I've nursed dogs through surgeries, trained puppies not to tinkle in the house, managed a pooch with severe separation anxiety, and helped older doggies by accommodating their new physical limits. Pooches deserve to be loved and cared for like family, and that's exactly how I'll treat your pet. I also know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your home unattended. I've been a homeowner for ten years and remodeled a house from basement to attic. I've encountered just about every issue you can imagine and know what to do if something comes up. Flooding? Check. Broken furnace? Check. Busted water heater? Check. Random rawhides hidden in the most ridiculous of places? Check. Okay, that last one was my Basset Hound. (But honestly, how did he get it that far under the bed?! I do not know!) I'm the go-to pet sitter and home sitter for all my friends. So if you're looking for someone who can spoil your fur-besties and guard your home like a pro, that's me!

Melisa was INCREDIBLE! She was extremely thorough in preparing for her extended stay in our home, being sure to meet with us and our dog ahead of time to ensure everything was in order. She communicated to us regularly throughout her stay, sending us adorable pictures of our pup. She was incredibly respectful of our home, and left everything in the exact condition we left it for her. I enthusiastically recommend Melisa to take care of your home and pooch while you are away!

Melisa took very special care of my black lab. She is a kind and mature person, and I felt totally comfortable having her stay overnight at my place. She sent pictures of my dog playing at the dog park, and when I got home the next day my dog acted like I had never left; she was totally relaxed and I could tell she had gotten her energy out with Melisa :) My home was even tidier than I left it- Melisa even unloaded my dishwasher which was the loveliest surprise! So thankful for her care and can't wait to have her dog sit again.

Information Melisa F. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know what makes your dog the happiest! Are they food motivated? Attention or praise motivated? Do they love hanging out with other people & dogs or are they more of a solo artist? Do they have any rituals or routines that might comfort them while you're gone? Are they an expert escape artist or chewer who needs extra surveillance? I can accommodate just about anything, so let's make sure we have a chat about what your fur-baby needs before you go.

A typical day

We'll do whatever your dog enjoys most! Walks, runs, going to dog parks, playing fetch, or a good, old-fashioned cuddle-fest. I'm also happy to chauffeur your pup to grooming appointments or vet visits.
