Melissa watched our lab, Jovi, for a week while we were in Tahoe for our wedding, and she was absolutely incredible. She sent photos and videos every single day, so we always knew Jovi was happy and well cared for. She took her on walks, let her swim in the lake, and Jovi got tons of playtime with Melissa’s sweet dog, Obi — they clearly became best friends! Melissa truly went above and beyond. She even dropped Jovi off at our wedding so she could be in our photos, which meant the world to us, and she gave Jovi a bath without us even asking. It was such a relief knowing our girl was in such loving, capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely use Melissa again and can’t recommend her enough!

Melissa was great to work with. Took my girl on a nice river walk. She also enjoyed playing with Melissa’s Golden Retriever. Thanks so much!

My dog Kevin stayed with Melissa for 4 nights and he had a wonderful stay. I could tell when I picked him up that he was happy and relaxed. Melissa does an excellent job of communicating with you throughout the stay, sending both messages and photographs. I truly appreciated that she was happy to administer the medications that Kevin was finishing up as well. We will definitely reach out to Melissa again for future pet sitting when we are in the Lake Tahoe area. Thank you so much for welcoming Kevin into your family!

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.
