Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lovers helping neighbours
My husband and I lovingly raised our sweet Yorkie from the time she was 6 weeks old until her peaceful passing at age 16 this past March. She was more than just a pet; she was our baby, and we were deeply in tune with her needs through every stage of her life, especially her senior years. We have experience with administering medications, adapting to changing routines, and providing gentle, attentive care with patience and love. We’re passionate about animals and truly enjoy helping our neighbours feel at ease knowing their pets are safe, nurtured, and treated like family in our home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My kids were happy staying with Melissa and Bernard. They got ample exercise, play, and attention. Would definitely use their services in the future.
Melissa was such a gem. I knew the moment when my dog met her, she jumped on her and was wagging her tail. Melissa took the time to put on Rylie’s jacket and boots. She caters to your dog needs!! I highly recommend her!!
Five Star Two thumbs up!!!
I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Her love for dogs is evident in the gentle and thoughtful way she interacts with them. She’s also extremely reliable—always on time, communicative, and follows through on every detail. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in her care with her timely updates and photos. Your dog will be in the best hands with Melissa.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We keep our home clean, calm, and clutter-free to ensure a safe environment with no choking hazards or access to anything they shouldn’t get into. Whether your dog needs long walks to burn off energy or short, gentle pee breaks, we’re happy to adapt to their needs and routine. We understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry loved one in someone else’s care, and we’re committed to providing a space that feels like a second home that's peaceful, loving, and secure.
A typical day
Whether your pup is a playful ball-chaser or a laid-back snugglebug, we’ll make sure they feel right at home! We have a large nearby park perfect for long nature walks and sniff-filled adventures, or we can keep it mellow with indoor playtime and cozy couch cuddles. We’re happy to toss a ball around the living room, use a long leash for some safe outdoor freedom, or simply follow your pet’s lead on what makes them happiest. Feel free to pack their favourite toys!
