My favorite kids have paws!

Pet care experience

I am a pet lover! I am a mom of 3 rescue dogs & 1 kittie. I currently have a 120 lb American bulldog, a 7 lb terrier mix, a 3 lb teacup chi. & a 15lb cat. They all get along great. Having had dogs since I was a little girl, my mom always insisted I take responsibility for the care of our dogs. I learned how to train, handle, & care for them early in my life. My experience has been with dogs of all breeds & sizes, from 2 lbs to 160 lbs. At one point I fostered 5 from 6 months old to 11 years. I've even taken in a few special needs seniors who have been deaf & sight impaired.

Melissa is really good with animals, especially dogs. She watches my 2 dogs whenever my wife and I go away. By the time we go to get them, they don't wanna leave. She makes these homemade treats they go crazy for( I think that's her secret)Me and my dogs have nothing but amazing things to say about Melissa. She's the best!!

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences, I love them all. Before caring for any dogs, I like to know of any fear triggers, allergies/medical conditions, & favorite toys.

A typical day

I find the best walks are in our state parks, by beaches or any areas away from traffic. Going to local dog parks is also something I feel socialized dogs love. If owners are agreeable, a morning playing at the beach would be a definite outing.
