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!

RayRay had such a wonderful time with Melissa and Jasper, it was great to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was somewhere safe having a blast with new doggy friends. Highly recommend.

Melissa is a wonderful dog-sitter. Our dog, who is usually quite nervous in new situations, is very happy going to Melissa's and staying there. Melissa responds to requests and texts really fast and is on top of all the details. We have already booked our dog's next stay with her!

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!
