Elite dog sitting in Estero

I was born on a farm in Colorado but now call Estero home. I had to leave my horses in Colorado but I still have my dog Daisy. Last year, we lost our golden doodle, Lilly, to cancer. Daisy, our golden retriever, is still a little lonely as are we. So we want to welcome other dogs into our home! We hope you give us a chance to be part of your family and Daisy and I look forward to meeting many new friends!

Melissa was great. She took great care of Izzy, and was very responsive. Also sent a good amount of updates. Would definitely use again in the future.

Tucker dragged me in the house and couldn’t wait to spend a few days with Melissa! He comes home happy and loves the time he gets to be outside.

Melissa opened her home to our Golden Retriever like family and took great care of her while we were away for an overnight trip. She also has a Golden Retriever and the two dogs played together well. We will definitely book again with Melissa when we need a sitter.

Pets

A typical day

We can walk together. We will play together. We have toys and a fenced yard. We go outside frequently and love to snuggle on the couch.

We love dogs who are well behaved and friendly with other dogs. We can only accept dogs who are vaccinated at this time. Thank you.
