Pet care experience

Animal lover, works from home!

We are a pet friendly house. I have dog sat since I have been in my early 20’s. My family and I had a wonder dog for over 12 years who passed away over 5 years ago. Now we are looking forward to opening our home to other families fur babies!

Melissa and her family were AMAZING! I was worried about boarding my Luna for the first time, but from our initial meet & greet, Melissa made us feel comfortable. We received pictures and updates daily and great communication! We will definitely use Melissa again!

Melissa watched our dog for the first time over Presidents’ Day weekend, and we were very happy and so was our dog. She is very kind and took great care of her making sure she ate and was well taken care of. Melissa sent several cute pics over the course of the weekend. We would not hesitate to have Melissa watch our pup again!

My goldendoodle Lenny had a wonderful time at Melissa’s. From the first introductory visit I felt comfortable and sure that Melissa, and her family, would take good care of him. I appreciated her daily pictures and updates on Lenny, and could tell he was having a wonderful time. Thank you!
