Melissa was great. She came over on time, fed my dogs, gave them water, let them out multiple times, and was there long enough for them to run around and get their wiggles out. I would highly recommend Melissa for any pet watching jobs.

Melissa was amazing with my dog! She provided loving care, regular updates, and my pup came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend, she is very trustworthy and attentive!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work during the day, but I come home on my lunch break, so your pup won't be left alone for long stretches. My evenings are spent at home, giving me plenty of time for snuggles, play, and attention. And once the sun goes down, it’s our favorite time - evening walks to wind down the day together!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is clean, cozy, and fully puppy-proofed to keep curious pups safe. I have a fenced-in backyard with security cameras for added peace of mind, but I always go outside with the dogs to provide close supervision and plenty of play. Safety is my top priority, so your pet will always be looked after with care and attention.
