I want to spoil your pup!

Pet care experience

I my dog passes away in August and I am not quite ready to own another dog, I would love to spend time loving on yours!! I grew up taking care of dogs and can’t imagine my life with out them! I also used to work at a kennel through a vet clinic so have quite a bit of experience with a variety of breeds and needs!!!

Melissa has been great and reliable. As a realtor, I sometimes have last minute appointments and very long days. I have been able to reach out to Melissa at the last minute to watch my dog, London, for the day or even keep her overnight. Melissa is very accommodating and helpful. Her love of dogs makes her the perfect pet sitter and I would highly recommend her. Your dog will be loved as if they were home with you.

Having Melissa stay with our fur-baby has been a true blessing. My husband have always had a hard time taking vacations together because we worry too much about Winston being in a kennel. He has a history of escaping, his crate, his leash and the smallest crack of the door. Since Melissa started watching our pup, we can truly enjoy our vacations knowing that Winston is loved and taken care of just as if it were us at home. He loves her! She sends updates and photos to reassure us, which we love. I would highly recommend Melissa.
