Safety, trust & environment

Pets have free run of my house. I do allow them on the couches and to sleep in my bed or the guest bed if they choose to do so. I do not crate pets but if you have a furbaby (like my grandpup Maverick) that are frightened of thunder and feel more secure in one you can bring. My circle is very dog friendly. We have a park a minute walk from my house. There is also a a dog park for both small & large dogs 3 minutes from my house

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference in breeds. I would like to know if they are spayed or neutered. Their dietary habits. Are they afraid of thunder? Their likes & dislikes. Are they sociable with other animals? Anything you can tell me that so that I can make sure their stay in my home is a happy & stress free for them.

A typical day

Your baby will love the dog park that is 3 minutes from my house. Walks every 2 to 3 hours in my dog friendly neighborhood. Pool time if they like to swim. Cuddle time on the couch in the evening. For sleep time we have dog beds but if they are use to sleeping on your bed I have no problem sharing mine.

Pet care experience

***** Why are my rates higher than some that charge a lower price per night. I am home 24/7 & I DO NOT crate your pet. I only take one client at a time unless its 2 different small dogs. I have always been an animal lover. I ran an animal rescue group in Osceola County for 10 years. I have knowledge & experience with working with all dog & cat breeds. I can dispense medication if needed. During hurricane evacuations I take in pets free of charge for people needing to evacuate for up to 3 days. . I raised 5 kids & had 3 dogs & 5 cats so we are use to a menagerie of pets. I lost my Bailey at the age of 16 years almost 2 years ago. I own a travel agency now & travel frequently so it would not be fair to have another dog. This is a perfect compromise. I have 4 cats that get along with dogs. We have a large 5 bedroom home & your baby will have full run of the house. We also have a dog park a 1/2 mile away to bring your baby to play. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood so your furbaby will be walked several times a day. I will also accept cats. I will do everything to ensure your baby has a great time while you are gone & most importantly be safe & taken care of. Update. I took 1 1/2 years off due to covis. I welcome 2 new grandbabies and didn't want to risk them getting sick. I also closed my office and now work from home which means I will be home all day except for errands. If you have have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me. These are your babies your handing over to a stranger so I want you to feel confident when booking with me. If your new to Rover here is a Promo code that will give you $20 off your 1st booking. Your Promo Code: MELISC08546 Thanks & Cheers, Melissa

Melissa is the best. She went above and beyond by bringing her catnip spray to get our furball to actually play with her toys. Thanks!

Melissa is the best. Very conscientious and she even got our somewhat territorial kitty to let her pet her. Definitely reccomend.
