Animals deserve the world
Pet care experience
I've always been amicable and surrounded by animals of all kinds since I was young. From fish to turtles to cats, and now my beloved dog who's three years old. I take my dog to the dog park and explore nature trails during my free time. Among all the spots, Lake Needwood is my favorite. I've dedicated myself to training my Yuki, experiencing great memories I still cherish. With my dog, I've learned how to communicate with dogs and respect their boundaries. I find pure joy in the presence of animals, whether it's playing fetch at the park or simply cuddling on the couch, being around animals brings me happiness.
Reviews
Melissa was great with Soxx. She was very communicative and took great pictures for updates letting me know what she did and how she spent the time with Soxx. She made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care.
Melissa is wonderful!! She is very attentive to all the details of your pets’ care, and sends the best updates and photos! She’s also very responsive to messages and questions. Our cat took to her instantly and had a great time while we were away. We will for sure be booking her again!
This was my first time using Rover, and Melissa. Rover was good. Melissa was excellent. She did everything asked of her, cleaned up after feeding the dog and cat, and gave extremely thorough documentation of the visit - a detailed write-up plus 26 photos -- all for a 1-hour drop-in.
Melissa was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our cat, Norman! She gave us such thorough check-ins every day with lots of pictures. She was also just a genuinely sweet and thoughtful person. Your pets are sure to be happy and well cared for with her while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
While I’m at a client's house, I'm very mindful and aware of rules and regulations. I’m observant of the animal's communication, and I always make sure to never cross a boundary.
Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the behavior of your dog. Let me know what they enjoy, and what they don't like. I'd like to know their temperament, activity level, restrictions, and medical issues beforehand.
A typical day
I love playing fetch and tug of war! I enjoy long walks, especially if it means tiring the dogs out and having them nap when they get home. Every dog likes different things, so whatever they enjoy is what we will do :)
