Let Us Love Your Pup

I am a single mom of three, teacher and lover of dogs. My kids would love a dog of their own but I am more of the caretaker, versus owner type. We dogsit for friends and family frequently.

Melissa did a wonderful job with Bernadette's stay in her home. She pays detailed attention to all my girls needs and wants, and gives Bernie a safe and loving second home when I am away. She is great at communicating and asks questions to make sure she can give the best care possible. She is at the top of my list when I need to travel!

Kahli is part of Melissa's family! She looks happy in every picture she sends to us. We are totally comfortable leaving on vacation knowing how well-cared for Kahli will be.

Safety, trust & environment

We never let a dog out without being with them and on a leash. We have a large yard but it is unfenced. We gate our deck for plenty of fresh air and have an off leash park near our home.

A typical day

We love taking dogs on (multiple) daily walks. We spend time outside on our enclosed deck and have a 30’ line for when we want to play outside in the yard or hang out on the shady patio.

I prefer to do meet & greets to get to know the dogs a little and chat with the owners. We have a chance to get acquainted and answer any questions we both may have.
