Stay at home Mom with yard and pug!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Melissa. My husband and I live with our two daughters, two sons, our pug, our pug chihuahua mix and one cat. I have been a dog lover since I was a child. I have grown up with dogs and now have a 10 year old pug who we just adore and 4 year old Banjo, a pug chihuahua rescue. He loves to play and be around other dogs. I have years of experience including volunteering at the Oregon humane society, attending vet tech school, and dog sitting. I am a stay at home Mom so your dog won't be left alone. We also have a fenced backyard and a doggy door leading to it. Our dogs get along with other dogs great! My children love when we have other dogs over and are very respectful and loving. We also can separate our cat if your dog isn't a cat lover. Can't wait to meet your fur babies!

Melissa (and her kiddos) did a great job taking care of Fitz. They took him on a walk and played with him. Multiple times I received photos of play time. I know Fitz had a good time playing with the kids and their dogs.

We were so relieved to have found such a sweet family and caring dog sitter. Melissa updated us with photos and made our dog part of her family whilst he stayed with her. Our dog came home relaxed, not stressed like he has when staying in a kennel. Thank you Melissa.

Melissa did a excellent job caring for Ginger. I received several updates and pictures. Ginger was very happy with her stay. I 100% recommend Melissa.

Melissa was understanding and accommodating my mistake. I booked the wrong weekend and she was able to rebook last minute for the correct weekend. Our dog really enjoys spending time with her kids and dogs. It is a vacation for him while we are away!

Does your dog get along with other animals? Does your dog get along with children? Are they completely potty trained? Do they know how to use a doggie door?

We love to walk around our quiet neighborhood and there is also a dog park nearby. Our family loves to be outdoors! The kiddos especially love playing fetch and giving our temporary pooches lots of love.
