Pet care experience

Pet lover needs a pet to love on ❤️

I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in middle school. Years ago, we lost our 14 year old beloved dog that we had since he was 6 weeks old due to cancer. He had 3 legs the last year of his life and we catered to his every need. I have experience with puppies as well as aging and special needs dogs that need a lot of attention or care (medical, etc). I used to have a diabetic cat that required insulin twice per day and was able to manage her needs seamlessly despite working full time and traveling. My family loves animals and are excited to love on another dog in our home. We believe that pets aren’t just fun and sweet animals, they are family members. We treat them as such.

My dog absolutely loves Melissa and her family! She is so excited each time we pull up at her house! It makes it so easy to leave her, knowing she’s just as loved when she’s away from home!

Schedule

We have two kids ages 17 and 15 that also love animals and are excited to have pets in the house again. They are high energy and love to chase them and play with their toys (especially tug a war) with them.

We love animals - especially dogs. We watch them as if they are our own by not leaving them outside alone for long periods, play with them and just love on them. Hablo español

A typical day

We have a very dog friendly neighborhood so walks are a lot of fun. We loved taking our dog with us everywhere we went (school drop off and pickups, vacations, etc). So if your fur baby loves car rides, we welcome them!
