Availability

I work from home three days a week and go into the office twice, so I have a very flexible schedule! On my work-from-home days, I’m available all day to give your pup plenty of love, walks, and attention. Even on my office days, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and overnight visits as needed.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of to keep them comfortable and safe. I like to know their feeding schedule, favorite toys or treats, and how they interact with other dogs or people. The more I know, the better I can make them feel right at home.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs active and happy throughout the day! We’ll start with a nice walk and some playtime to get their energy out. I enjoy exploring the neighborhood or visiting a nearby park for fresh air and new smells. Indoors, we’ll play games, practice commands, and of course have cuddle breaks and plenty of love!

Loving & Reliable Pet Caregiver

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. I used to have a sweet girl named Susie who filled my heart with love and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and compassion. After she passed away three years ago, I’ve continued caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family whenever they go out of town. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I’m experienced in adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I do have a puppy named cocoa as of December 2025. She is the light of our lives!! We love her so much.

Melissa was outstanding! She was willing to take on our small dog within a week’s notice, and was warm and welcoming, in-tuned with what our dog needed, and very communicative with us. We had to move up our end time due to changes in our end, and Melissa was very accommodative to have us pick up our dog a day early. I can’t say enough about how fantastic she was. We strongly recommend Melissa!

I can’t thank Melissa enough for helping us out last minute with our pup. She was so responsive, sent regular updates and pictures, and made sure Candy was well cared for. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!
