Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home - love animals!
I grew up with animals and our family loves dogs and cats! I enjoy getting my steps in, so will be happy to take your dog on walks and give them lots of love in our home. We also enjoy how silly, cuddly and moody cats can be. Both animals bring us lots of joy and would be happy to have your pets while you are away.

Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
We were thankful to have Melissa and her family look after Bow for two weeks while we were away! They take such good care of him and we know he enjoys being there. We appreciated getting regular photos and updates. Melissa is so dependable with her follow ups and very accommodating of travel schedules. We would definitely book with her again!
Melissa was wonderful to work with - from our initial meet and greet, boarding drop-off and pick-up, and all the updates in between. She was always prompt, detailed, and thoughtful in her responses and follow-ups, and made us feel immediately comfortable with having our dog stay with her. We know our dog was well-cared for and enjoyed all the days he spent with Melissa. We're sure he will be happy to be back again soon! Thank you :)
Melissa is warm and caring, and took great care of our dog while we were away. We enjoyed getting updates and photos to keep us posted, I would definitely bring our dog for another stay with Melissa and recommend her highly.
Melissa, was great. Ginny had a great stay.
Melissa was amazing with our senior dog! She was very attentive, and made accommodations for him to ensure that he was comfortable. We appreciated the daily updates and it was so nice to know that he was in such great care while we were away. We will definitely book with Melissa again, and would highly recommend her pet care services to others. Thanks again!
Melissa and fam were awesome sitters for our 2x bostons! We appreciated the daily updates & photos, had no doubts that our doggos seemed more than comfortable throughout the entire stay, right from drop off to pick up! Your pup(s) will be in great hands with Melissa - Highly recommend!! Thanks again 🤍

Schedule
I work from home, but do occasionally run my kids to activities or run errands. If your dog is okay to be left for short trips, they will be a perfect fit for us.

Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have a big yard, but we are in a quiet, family friendly area and look forward to taking your dog on lots of walks around the neighborhood. I have two animal loving 13 year-old teens that find so much joy in meeting new pets. I have great energy for dogs and have read dog training books from Cesar Millan (actually met him several years back) and I used to watch his show reguarly. If your dog isn't great on a leash, I'm good at making sure dogs behave on their walks. Otherwise they are welcome to explore all the different sights and smells that we pass along the way. I don’t currently have a crate, but if this is what your dog is used to, we have the space for you to bring your own. If your dog is shy, needs extra attention and care, is full of energy or just likes to cuddle, we've got you covered! We've met and cared for all types and truly love having new pets in our home.
A typical day
I will definitely go on walks with and without my kids, but my kids will pet and love your dogs every moment they are able. We have a closed area where we sometimes toss the ball around outside, but most exercise is done exploring the neighborhood during our walks. Your dogs are welcome on the furniture or their own comfy bed if you have one to bring. When you have a no furniture rule, we abide by your rules. We are strict on only feeding your pets with the food you provide. If you have a cat, they will get to be lazy, look out at the view or cuddle with me and my kids.
