Come, play & stay with care. ❤️

Pet care experience

My love for pets and their well being means your pet is as important to me as they are to you. I’m a dog mom of 1 with my husband, Daniel, and we own a two-story, 3 bedroom condo unit with a small, fenced back yard. We're in the middle of town and a short distance from a lot of different parks. *I also live right down the street from a veterinary clinic. They charge $40 for toenail trim/anal gland expression combo and I'm happy to schedule those as requested by owners and get them done while you're away. I’m experienced in animal care: -I’ve volunteered at different animal shelters since I was a child. -I’ve worked in a Veterinary clinic and I’m very familiar with common medication routines. -I have taken different K9 behavioral and training courses for my own pets throughout the years. Keeping your pet healthy and happy is what I love to do, whether it's while you’re away from home or just some extra exercise and play during the work week.

My pup had so much fun with Melissa and her dog & she was available on short notice for the weekend :) we're so appreciative! He waited by her door to go back in instead of getting in the car ☺️ Looks like he had a fun little dog vacation

Melissa came to home to check in and care for my senior dog while I was out of town for a week. She is very responsible, kind, and absoutley cares for your pet. I would recommend Melissa to watch your pup anytime!

Melissa took care of our Havanese, Mia, while we were on a family vacation for a week. She was accommodating to our special requests for Mia. Immediately we could sense Melissa's love for dogs. Mia was well taken care of and I believe she had a great week! I would highly recommend Melissa if you are looking for a sitter for your beloved furry family member.

I would highly recommend Melissa for a dog caregiver. Her background and experience sets my mind at ease knowing my two dogs are in good hands. Her experience working at a vets office has come in handy multiple times when she's been with my dogs. Knowing Melissa as a friend, I can tell you she gives 100% in everything she does (especially the things she has a passion for, like animals). Your dog(s) will be loved and have a wonderful experience with Melissa.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know any behavioral tendencies such as barking, licking, digging, chewing. Their activity level and sleeping habits. Anything that agitates them. -Please also let me know if your dog does well on car rides.

A typical day

Dogs in my care will enjoy daily walks, training games, and/or one-on-one attention, as well as all the playtime they want with my own mini-aussie. Dog parks visits are possible if requested and I'm close to a few different pet-friendly, on-leash, walking parks.
