Will love your dog like my own

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a proud mama of a 7 year old Golden Retriever and 4 year old boxer and I absolutely love dogs! They are my babies! I have grown up my whole life with dogs and have had many dog pet sitting experience. I am new to Bend, Oregon . I love the outdoors and go hiking on a weekly basis. I am a social worker and looking forward to meeting new people as well. In addition to caring for doggos, I have exoerience helping to care for cats, chickens and pigs. I understand that trusting who you leave your fur baby with is very important! If your furry friend loves to go on long walks and hikes and/ or enjoys down time of cuddling and treats please feel free to reach out to me! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Look forward to working with you and meeting your fur baby/babies.

Melissa was wonderful with Bella. She was a great communicator prior to the visit and sent pics during the evening. We are visitors to Bend and would definitely reach out to Melissa again on our next visit. Highly reccomend.

Melissa did a fantastic job watching Rocky for two weeks. She was reliable, flexible, and regularly communicated thoughtful updates. He was so happy and healthy when we returned. We appreciate Melissa a lot and we’d love to work with her in the future.

Melissa was great. Not only did she take amazing care of my two boisterous dogs, but she checked in frequently and sent updates with photos. I also came home to a spotless house. I would highly recommend her!

Melissa was fantastic! She sent updates daily, usually more, and we always had peace of mind that everyone and everything was taken care of at home!
