Experienced with variety of breeds

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover of all kinds! I have grown up around animals my entire life. I've had many years of experience caring for dogs of a variety of breeds and sizes. I also have plenty experience caring for cats. I had three cats and two dogs growing up, and I have one cat that lives with me now. I am a full time graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I will treat your animals like my own and give them all the attention and affection they deserve. I am available to provide boarding, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and dog walking services for your animals.

Melissa was great! She sent lots of pictures of our dog while we were away for the weekend and made sure he felt right at home! I would definitely recommend her and use her again!

Melissa was just amazing! I dropped off at 8am on Friday and got stuck in traffic on the way back Sunday, and she was very accomadating! I got pictures and updates the whole weekend, and picked up a very happy pup! Could not be happier with her, or the love she showed my puppers! I would 100% book again with her!

I couldn’t have ask for a better sitter. I have a hyperactive Brittany spaniel. She’s not the easiest to watch after! Melissa kept me updated each day with pictures while they were on walks and as to how my little one was doing. You can genuinely tell she loves animals and I highly recommend her to anyone reading this review! Will absolutely be going back to her in the future. Thanks again Melissa!

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know about any special needs your dog may have so that I may accommodate for them. It is also important for me to know if your dog has any destructive tendencies and if they are house trained.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs on walks around UT campus, Market Square, and World's fair park. I also love to take the dogs to dog parks to run around and get all their energy out! (If you are comfortable with that of course :)

I have clinics and classes throughout the week, but most have been moved online due to COVID. I am home pretty much all week besides when I am in clinics, so while your pets are with me, I can provide plenty of bathroom breaks, play time, and walks!
