A WFH dog mom

I grew up with a family dog and adopted a puppy after losing my golden after 16 years. I have had several foster dogs between my golden and my two pups. My girls love play time with other dogs - wrestling, tug-of-war, or chase. I love dog training and will work on some tricks and manners -if you provide the treats! I live in a two bedroom townhouse with access to the green-way, so all guests will get morning, afternoon and night walks. Although Zoey and Stella are super friendly, I gained exposure on handling unfriendly dogs during my time as a foster mom. Before I agree to sit I always want to do a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along well!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 06, 2022

Melissa was such a good sitter for Stella. Stella had so much fun and was knocked out after her fun day. I highly recommend!

Melissa was amazing with Cece at her house! She showed extra love and care and made me feel comfortable each day I was away! Thank you!

My Gunner is a lot! Melissa was amazing, she sent lots of pictures and videos and made sure he was happy. He is a super nervous boy and she dealt well with all his anxiousness. I would totally recommend her to anyone. Her two puppies were the sweetest girls and Gunner had fun running them tired.

Murphy had a fantastic sleepover and was tired from all the fun through the day I picked him up.

Melissa is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog Sherman just loves her. I trust her to make sure my dog gets love and care while I am at work. I definitely recommend her.

Melissa took care of our 2 goldendoodles over the span of a week for both day and overnight boarding. Our dogs were well taken care of and came home happy! We previously had a bad experience with a sitter that made our dogs anxious about meeting new people but she did a wonderful job with them and they are more playful and comfortable now. We would highly recommend Melissa :)

Schedule

I currently work from home, as do two other adults in the household so your pup will never be left alone! Everyone is free to go in and out as they wish. We do walks at noon and tricks with treats at 3 pm and cuddle at 8 pm.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to let pups run around! We have a secure fenced yard that my dogs love to run around. I enjoy walking and running with dogs. Meal time for my family is at 8:30 am and 5:30 pm and everyone sits together before eating.

Pets

A typical day

My dogs like to spend most of the day running and wrestling in the yard so they are very ready for cuddles in the evening!

Before I watch your pup, I'll need to know what his/her schedule is like. How much and when do they eat? Where do they sleep? Are they a fan of all day plays or would the bed under my desk be a better activity?
