Pet care experience

Dogs have been part of my family most of my life. When I was too busy to have a dog of my own, I started fostering and taking in those who needed extra medical or behavioral attention and helping the goofy fur balls learn their manners through lots of treats, exercise and lots of praise. I have experience with a wide range of dogs (Chihuahuas to Pitties to Great Danes) and am able to adjust to each ones energy levels and personalities.

Melissa was so kind and provided a great stay for our pup! We got thorough daily updates and pics each day. She and her dog, Cash, were very welcoming and patient with our crazy dog! Would definitely book with her again.

Our girl Romy can get nervous away from home but she settles in right away with Melissa. We are so happy to have connected with her and always feel Romy is safe, happy and well cared for.

I’m so grateful for Melissa and Cash. Finding a petsitter isn’t easy and the entire experience with Melissa was wonderful, from the meet and greet, to the great care she provided to my dog, to how well behaved her own dog Cash was, to the great communication and photo updates she provided. Look no further, she is a wonderful, professional care giver for your pup.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur child needs medication, has special behavioral needs, or you just want to help keep up the training that you’ve already been working on!

A typical day

Let’s get all the energy out with daily walks in the morning and evening and in the afternoon if the ground isn’t too hot. Have more energy?! I got puzzles to help stimulate the mind and love a good game of hide and seek to test out those nose skills!
