I’ll pamper your babies.

Pet care experience

Collins, MS House trained, clean pets will be allowed to roam free in my home and with supervision in my fenced in yard. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I have a large fenced in yard in a rural setting. My animals are treated like family and I will do the same for your pets. I’ve been a pet sitter for my family and friends (free of charge) most of my life. I’m looking forward to nurturing pet guests. Your pets safety and comfort will be my priority as I welcome them and maintain your pets schedule and routines. I will expect you to share any needs and preferences and I will follow them to the best of my ability. Please inform me of any known issues that may challenge safety (allergies, if your pet darts outside when door is opened, counter serfers, pets that eat clothes, shoes, etc.). I have a medium and a mini Australian Labradoodle and 2 indoor/outdoor cats and they all get along well with other pets. My animals are all spayed or neutered. I am unable to take pets that are not house trained as I do not have kennels or areas they can remain unsupervised outside for extended periods. You should know that I have donkeys. Your pet will be kept away from then. Additionally, I am licensed wildlife rehabber and may have different native wildlife species (esp in spring). Your pet will be kept away from wildlife. Extended family loving provided free of charge. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to pamper your fur babies. I work 9-5 on Monday, Thursday and Friday (some other days as needed). I am available for day care on weekends and after 4 pm during the week. I can keep trustworthy or crated pets while I am at work at your request. I have a large breezeway where I can keep your pet while I am away if best. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Your well behaved, house trained pets will have free run of the house. I can also crate your pet upon your recommendation if it is needed. Trust is important and I invite you to drop in to check on your pet if you would like.

Marlee's 1st time with Melissa. It was great. Updates and pics were a very nice bonus. Will be using again!

Melissa was fantastic. She was very accommodating for the needs of our senior dog Snoopy. There is lots of room for him to run, easy access to do his business and could lay around on the furniture just like he does at home. Snoopy has found his new temporary home when we travel. Thanks Melissa for being outstanding. Snoopy, Dave & Sue.

We have 2 female Great Danes and this is our second stay with Melissa! She is super loving and takes excellent care of them. Her farm offers plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs safely. I can’t say enough good things about Melissa- great communicator and always goes the extra mile to accommodate us!

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Please advise me if any preferences, routines, problem behaviors or special needs. I do my best to accommodate any requests or requirements your pet may have. I have experience with giving medication but will only give to dogs that don’t repeatedly bite hard when I attempt.

A typical day

I will try to hold to your routine and do activities as recommended. Activities might include walks on leash, fetch, spending time in my fenced yard. I have a splash pad for summer fun if your pup enjoys water play. Cuddles are welcome and encouraged but I respect independence and solidarity as well.
