Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are my people!
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!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa is an amazing dog sitter! Harlow had so much fun for the week she was there. Highly recommend!
Xavi is a frequent visitor to Melissa’s house. He’s so happy when he’s there! Melissa sends frequent photos of his stay. I highly recommend Melissa.
Where to begin, I cannot say enough good things! This was the first time I had ever been apart from my dog, so I was incredibly anxious. Melissa was kind and patient, walking me through the steps and answering my (many) questions. Nina just finished her stay and was treated like family. I got photo updates and videos showing her happy, playing, and making new friends. I was honestly worried she wouldn't want to come home! I am so grateful for the amazing care and communication. Highly recommend
Melissa is amazing! Our dog loves her and she sends daily updates and pictures. We will definitely continue to book with her.
First time away from home for my wee girl. She came back happy and not as excited to see ME as I expected so I know she had fun and cuddles. So glad I found you!
Melissa is great. Xavi loves staying with her and Jasper. He never wants to come home.

Schedule
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!
