Welcome! My name is Melissa and the joy of my life is to have animals around. I have a 32lb pup (a foster failure) who is very well behaved and socialized. I usually bring her with me for housesitting request but, at your request, can leave her behind with my partner and his dog. We live spitting distance to a couple of parks which are fully utilized and a small drive to a dog park! Previously, I owned a dog for 15 years until he passed at 18. I was on the vet track during undergrad and have worked at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the biggest non-kill animal shelter in the country where I worked with special needs animals as well as rehabilitating abused and neglected animals. I am apt in handling any dog breed and size.
