Pet care experience
My first dog was a great dane twice my size when I was young. She introduced me to the incredible and love-filled world of dogs. I began working at a daycare and training facility while in college where I learned immense amounts of knowledge on the best animal I’ve ever come across. I became extremely skilled at reading very subtle body language and mastered gaining the trust of the most skittish and weary souls. Every dog is different and I pride myself in my abilities to accomodate the needs and wants of each individual of any breed. Some dogs want all the pets and attention and want to run around all day, while some rather the safety of their personal bubble and will appreciate quiet companionship and mental stimulation. I hope to meet and help you and your pups during these busy times!
Reviews
I have known Melissa for over 6 years and she is the only person I trust to watch my two dogs at my home! ( Old English bulldog with hip problems and a Catahoula Leopard dog) She is super experienced with Animal care and my dogs adore her!!
Melissa has a calm presence about her. Two of our 3 dogs have high anxiety and she is able to settle them and walk them without issues. She has worked at a doggie day care so she is very in tune with the dogs behaviors. She is reliable and hard working. I would recommend her to anyone that wants high quality care for their dog.

Due to having 3 of my own dogs who are very high energy and sensitive to change, I do not offer boarding in my home for safety purposes. However, for boarding in your home, I appreciate instructions on what you would like me to do while caring for your pets; whether it be taking them for carrides and walks or playing in a fenced in yard or on a leash, sleeping on the couch or in a crate, eating treats or on a strict diet etc.

I’m currently a part-time student taking classes for nursing school, and I work in hospital security on a per diem basis. Due to my situation, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and am willing to accomodate to fit yours and your dog’s needs. Feel free to message me!
