I am a full time nursing student, but my classes are all online so I am home everyday and/or available to come to your home. My kids homeschool two days a week as well so your pets would have extra care and love on those days. My kids are amazing with animals too!

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

It would be important to know how your dog interacts with other dogs, as we have a 12 year old Australian shepherd, and how they interact with children 9 and over. We do sometimes have a couple toddlers that come to visit but do not live in the home.

A typical day

The kids and I love to take the dogs in the back yard and run around with them and throw balls and toys around for them. I also love to go for walks at the nearby park.

This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!
