I live for Animals!

Pet care experience

I love dogs of all shapes, sizes and wet noses!! Whatever your dogs needs are, I will accommodate to make sure they get what they need and deserve. Their safety and enjoyment out of life is my utmost concern. A walk, run, fetch, stretch, tug of war, sight seeing or simple a potty break, I am here for them. I will treat every dog as they were my own and ensure you as a parent have no worries about your fur babies in my care. I have had dogs my whole life and I could not imagine a world without them... simply put they are more then pets but family.

I am really happy with the service. I like the report card. It made me feel comfortable that everything was ok.

Melissa was great. She communicated with us when our kitty was being shy and wouldn't come out to visit and made an effort to find her. Our Luna was happy to see her when she did come out.

Our Oscar loves his visits with Melissa!! Oscar can be a handful and Melissa is great with him. She is always on time and shares updates on their visits together. We trust her 100% with Oscar's care when we need to be away for the day. He gets so excited whenever Melissa comes to visit!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust and a comfortable environment for your family is my up most concern. To ensure this I require a meet and greet for all services. In my home my yard is fully fenced in and I accompany all dogs while they are outside. While in your home I follow all guidelines and needs you have set in place.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

If your dog was to have a sleep over, experience being around other dogs is preferred, as I have two fur babies. We want all pups to feel comfortable. Updated vaccines and flea/tick treatments are necessary to keep everyone healthy. If your dog has any issues with toys, foods or storms etc, I will do my best to address all of them to your standards, just let me know.

A typical day

I have a very large fenced in yard, so that means plenty of run space. I have plenty of tennis balls and a ball thrower for those dogs that love the long chase, like mine! Our neighborhood is quiet and has plenty of cul-de-sac's for safe walking. And of course cuddle time!
