Dog Friendly Home w/ Backyard Park

Pet care experience

I have been dog-sitting ever since I first went to college and have been doing it ever since! I love making pets feel comfortable in their own home. Walking, snuggling, playing - I own my own dog, and while he will be staying home, I will treat your dog as if he/she is my own! I usually take dogs for 4-5 walks per day, including visiting parks! Keep your dog on a routine and in their own environment!

Melissa is a fantastic, reliable dog walker! She was great with my lab who needed special care after knee surgery. She sent photos and updates on their walks, and made sure our baggie roll was full, and water bowl topped up. She's a true dog lover, and both my dog and I are looking forward to future walks and stays with Melissa!

Our dog returned home very happy. She was responsive to any communication we made during his stay and even sent us a picture! Flexible about drop off/pick up. Would definitely use her again.

Nash had a great time staying with Melissa! She was very accommodating of our early morning drop-off, and he loved playing with the other dogs during his 2 days. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay so we knew he was well taken care of. Nash will be going back soon!

We had an excellent experience with Melissa! It was our first time leaving our dog and so we were obviously very nervous. Melissa was fantastic in meeting the needs of our 1.5 year old high energy lab. She has a lab, Kinsley who is super friendly and gets along great with everyone. She provided us with daily pictures and text messages for updates on how our dog was doing. She is very responsible and has a flexible work schedule so I knew that the dogs would not be home alone all day. Her apartment is dog friendly and there is plenty of space for an additional guest! The apartment is located in a wonderful neighborhood with a fenced in dog park within steps of her home! Words cannot express how happy we were with the visit and will definitely be booking with her again.
