Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough great things about our dog sitter! Melissa watched my dog for 6 days and made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the start, communication was excellent, she kept me updated with daily messages, photos, and little notes about how everything was going, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of attention and exercise. When I got back, my dog was relaxed and clearly comfortable, which says everything about the level of care they received. I truly appreciate the reliability, professionalism, and genuine care Melissa showed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!
Melissa is my go-to sitter! My vizslas are always so happy being dropped off at her house and coming back from every boarding stay. They love playing with her dog and have lots of room to roam and run around in the yard - which is essential for a high energy breed like mine. Melissa is also great with sending photo updates. Highly recommend.
Thank you! So friendly and helpful to take us in at the last minute. Teddy and Billy had a great romp with your friendly pup.
Excellent communication and easy drop-off and pickup for daycare. Circe was happy and chill when she came home. Thanks for the great care!
We had a wonderful experience with Melissa! She took great care of our pup Sugar while we were out skiing in South Lake Tahoe. From the start, we felt completely confident that Sugar was in good hands. Melissa sent us regular pupdates throughout our trip, which we really appreciated - it gave us peace of mind knowing Sugar was happy and well cared for. Sugar came back happily exhausted from all the walks and playtime with Melissa’s dog Obi. We would definitely recommend Melissa to other dog owners and would absolutely work with her again in the future. Thank you, Melissa!
My dog is 17 years old now and needs a lot of extra care. It was so wonderful to leave him in Melissa's care and feel confident that he would be well cared for. It was a wonderful break for me and I think it was a great vacation for Joshua too! He seemed happy, calm, and in good spirits when we picked him up. Thank you, Melissa!

Schedule
My house is large and sits on a fully fenced, half-acre yard. My home is conveniently located right off the main road when you first get into town, which makes pick ups and drop offs a breeze. Dogs get full range of the house or can have their own cozy, private room if anxious. Dogs are allowed on furniture unless owners have specific rules. I will accommodate your requests. My yard has plenty of toys and so much space to run around or play fetch in. I also enjoy going on daily, long walks, so your pup will receive exercise.
