Experienced Dog Lover

We have had dogs for about 25 years and are skilled at caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. We recently lost our golden retriever of 15 years. We have a lot of doggy love to give and would love to share some of that with your pup. We live in a smoke free, single-family home in a gated community neighborhood. One of us works from home so there will always be somebody here to walk, feed, or even dispense medication on your schedule. No small children… Just lots of love.

I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable home for their dog. Melissa cared for my dog regularly during full workdays, and I always had complete peace of mind knowing he was with her. Her home is clean, spacious and welcoming, and dogs are truly treated like family. What sets Melissa apart is the amount of attention and affection she gives to the dogs she cares for. Walks, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to a consistent routine are all priorities. She is attentive to each dog's individual needs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What impressed me most was how genuinely invested she is in my dog's well-being. She is responsible, trustworthy, and an incredibly kind person who clearly adore dogs. It was obvious that he felt comfortable and loved in her home, and he was always excited to see her! I trust Melissa wholeheartedly with my dog and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. Any dog in her care will be safe, happy, and loved.

If you want your pet loved, pampered and cared for the way you'd do it, then rest assured Melissa is perfect! She has taken care of our mini poodle many times and not only provides responsible pet sitting, but a loving home for our little fur princess when we are away.

Pets

A typical day

We love to walk or run with the doggies. We do not go to the dog park. We feel that there are too many variables of which we are not in control and we want to keep your pet as safe as possible. We have tons of toys here, but feel free to bring your pups favorites. We have a kiddie pool if your dog likes to splash around when it’s hot. But our house is air-conditioned and nice and cool.
