Self-proclaimed dog whisperer :)

Pet care experience

I've been a go-to sitter for my friends and neighbors for too many years to count. I love animals of any breed, and understand that, just like humans, every dog has different needs. I have an 8-year-old Golden Retriever and a 10-year-old Chihuahua. Obviously, these breeds have very different personalities, but they are the sweetest girls you'll ever meet, and they LOVE new friends so, if your dog stays with me, they will be showered with attention. My chihuahua, Daisy, had two litters of puppies many years ago, so I have lots of experience caring for puppies, too. I am at home part-time, which means your pup won’t have to be alone for hours upon hours. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Melissa is very professional and loved Lexi like she was her own pup. Her other dogs are very friendly and Lexi fit right in the pack. I will definitely use melissa again.

Melissa has been excellent with my pup and truly cares about your dogs needs. She asks all the right questions to understand how to make your pet comfortable. I felt at ease when traveling and leaving my pup in her care. I would strongly recommend giving her a try the next time you need a sitter!

If you are looking for a pet sitter who will treat your baby like a member of the family, you've found her! I would never think twice about leaving any of my animals with her. She is great with my pups and always take special care in making sure they are given attention and love. Melissa makes it easy not to worry about your babies when you are away. I highly HIGHLY recommend her!

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but, I would definitely want to know about the dog's temperament. Is he/she shy, or do they get along well with other animals? Is the dog afraid of storms? Does he/she have any allergies I need to be careful of? Does he/she love to play with a favorite toy, or do they prefer lots of lap cuddling time? No pee pads in my house, please :)
