Availability

I work my full time job week days only. I live very close to my workplace and come home for lunch every day. I am available every weekday evening and any time on weekends for walks, check ins, and boarding. In the summer I’m away most weekends but during the mid fall/ winter months I’m home on weekends. If your dog is good in the car and you’d like me to watch them on a summer weekend, they’ll come to the trailer with me! I also have a fully fenced site there!

Dogs are my people!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was very young. I’ve always loved dogs of all shapes and sizes but I have a soft spot for giant lap dogs like Great Danes! I have experience with walking difficult and reactive dogs. I also have experience with special needs animals. Particularly conditions like diabetes, Megaesophagus, osteosarcoma, enucleation, post surgery care, and giving meds, or subcutaneous injections. It is my goal to provide a home away from home for your fur kid while they’re staying with me. They will be treated with the same love and care with which I treat my fur baby!

Melissa is great. Xavi loves staying with her and Jasper. He never wants to come home.

Looks like Xavi had a blast. Melissa even celebrated his 15th birthday with him. I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit.
