Pet care experience
I have experience taking care of several dogs for friends, family, and clients while they go out of town. My experience includes taking care of several different breeds, puppies, dogs with anxiety, couch potatoes, and pretty much any kind of dog! I primarily work as a server so I am home almost all week and normally am just working nights on weekends, so I have lots of free time to give your dog all the snugs, walks, and love! I also have a friend who lives next door who would be able to check in on your pup while I’m at work in the evenings. I can also leave on the TV to keep your pup occupied if that’s something they like! I always give dogs AT LEAST two long walks a day, normally three or four (depending on weather, schedules, and dog energy levels). I am happy to stick to whatever exercise routine you prefer—more or less walks. Doggos are welcome on my furniture and in bed with me if they want. I always make sure that the doggos keep up with their training when they are with me. There is a dog park nearby so if dogs are social or need to be socialized, there are many dogs in the neighborhood they can befriend! However, if your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs (or if you would prefer I didn’t take them to the dog park) I’m happy to avoid it! I love dogs and I am just doing Rover until I have the funds and security to get a dog of my own! All dogs welcome, but I love the big woofers. :)
Reviews
Melissa was great! She would send me updates of ryno along with photos. She was referred to me by a friend and I will refer her to people as well!
Melissa did such a great job watching George! She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, and I could tell he was having a great time. I will definitely be using her services again!
Melissa was wonderful with Sylvie! I got lots updates and cute pics during my trip. She was very patient with my anxious pup and worked with all her little quirks. I will definitely book Melissa again in the future!
Melissa was available on short notice to take Barney, and was flexible with pick up/drop off times. Barney had a great time, and came back pretty tuckered out!

There is a dog park nearby that I frequent as well as a long stretch of grass by the train where your doggo can go off-leash and run around!
