Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa was great! We hope to be able to work with her again.
Melissa was fantastic! She was accommodating and super flexible with a last minute stay. Her kind and friendly personality made it easy for our dog to feel comfortable. We received regular updates and photos of Frankie. We’re confident he had a blast and we couldn’t be happier with her care. Highly recommend, will definitely book again!
Melissa was so great with our two dogs while we were gone for ten days in Europe. She was super communicative, gave the pups so much attention, and took care of our house too! We will for sure book her again and highly recommend her!!
I felt very confident that my dog was safe and given plenty of attention with Melissa. Would definitely recommend!
Melissa was fantastic watching our dog and cat over the long weekend! They clearly loved her and we would be delighted to hire her to stay with them again.
I highly recommend Melissa. She asked great questions, sent photos, and loved my furbabies. She also left my house in great shape and followed all of my directions.

Schedule
I currently work a hybrid schedule; Monday and Friday from home and Tuesday-Thursday in office. While working from home, depending on my meeting schedule, the longest I’d have to be at my computer is 3 hours. I can usually make time every 2 hours for a potty break. Tuesdays-Thursdays while working in office, I can try to be flexible for a lunch time potty break but cannot guarantee it. Otherwise I would be away from home from 8:10am-5:45pm
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
** I live in on the second floor of an apartment** in a community with a lot of area to walk and a bark park. I can accommodate short or long walks depending on how far your dog wants to walk. At your home, I aim to maintain the same or very similar routine as normal to reduce anxiety and make your pet feel more comfortable. I am accepting of the sleeping arrangements your pet prefers and is used to.
A typical day
I love going on walks if your pet does too. No walk, no worries. We can play to get that energy out. If you have a couch potato who isn’t interested in playing, that is okay too.

- Let me know if your dog has any needs or restrictions I should tend to. If your dog is on a schedule, give me a lay out of what that looks like so I can keep the routine. I’m also able to follow your rules for your dog for consistency especially with behavior.
