Former Dog Mom | One pup at a time!
Pet care experience
⭐️We have no pets, and only watch one dog at a time⭐️ ABOUT ME: After saying goodbye to my Soul-Dog of 13 years, I am happy to be welcoming furry friends into our home once more! I have experience taking care of both puppies and adult dogs, anxious dogs, senior dogs, medication, and recognizing the difference between a nervous tummy or something more.
Reviews
Melissa was very attentive to Maddie and did an excellent job caring for her. She made sure to give daily updates with photos which is so helpful to anyone who gets a little anxious leaving their pet for a few days. Will definitely continue to book with Melissa.
Melissa (and James) were awesome. My anxiety ridden Pomeranian was well taken care of and HAPPY.
Melissa was so responsive whenever I messaged, and always provided daily updates and photos to let me know how happy and comfortable Henry was on his first little holiday away from me or friends. Henry seemed right at home so I knew he was being taken care of. Would definitely recommend Melissa for taking care of your pup and will be hoping she can take care of Henry for future holidays!
Melissa was a great person to watch Ginger as she helped settled my: fears, anxieties, and concerns. Melissa was attentive to Gingers needs while also remaining in communication by sending us an update every day with some pictures! The updates were more than one worded, as she gave insight, context, and information about the day and any quirks/areas of emphasis she notices. Melissa was great to Ginger, as I can tell Ginger received a lot more love and returned back to us with open arms! Ginger is an anxious dog, and Melissa found ways and strategies to curb her anxiety, such as bringing Ginger to her roof area which has fake grass, to encourage her to potty. We were impressed by Melissa’s initial meeting since she had a binder prepared to collect information on Ginger, as well as asking pivotal questions to assure a seamless stay. I definitely would like to book Melissa again as she joins the network of those Ginger loves.

Safety, trust & environment
THE SPACE: We live in an apartment with TWO well-enclosed, private outdoor spaces including a terrace AND large astro-turfed rooftop for optimal zoomies. We also have large floor-to-ceiling windows for sunbathing or squirrel-watching. You can find photos of the space in my profile! SAFETY & TRUST: I know firsthand how hard it is to trust someone with your pet, but rest assured that I am knowledgeable, responsible, and passionate about providing the type of care I wish I'd had for my former fur babies. Our apartment has been thoroughly vetted by curious noses of all types, and I'm incredibly diligent about maintaining a dog-safe environment at all times with any hazards or temptations well out of reach!

Availability
I work for myself, from home, with my husband who also works from home most days. So your pup will have one, if not two, people to keep them company! I have a soft spot for Mini Aussies, Schipperkes, Pomeranians, Italian greyhounds, and rescue dogs of any breed or mix!
