Pet care experience
I've always loved all animals and have had my own dogs, cats, birds and reptiles my whole life. I've always done pet sitting and decided that I love it so much that I'd like to make it more permanent and start it on a larger scale. I will treat your pet like he/she were my own and will give him/her love and tons of affection. I am an open book and will be happy to answer any possible questions you might have, in order to make sure that you are 100% comfortable with leaving your baby/babies in my hands. My dog Moo-moo absolutely loves other animals as well and your baby will have made friends for life. We also have a beautiful park that we love to take walks through, and it's just up the block from our home. Update: I had to let my beloved girl go recently. It’s been so incredibly difficult. I haven’t removed her from my profile, not sure when I’ll feel able to. I just wanted to make sure my amazing clients know, she is no longer with us. Thank you for bringing your babies to me, right now it’s so incredibly helpful and I appreciate you all. Lots of love to you and your babies. Hug them a little tighter for me💕.
Reviews
Melissa was great and it’s so apparent how much she loves animals! She sent us great updates with pictures. I always knew my pup was ok. I highly recommend her!!
Once again, another wonderful stay for my fur baby! Thank you Melissa.
Melissa is amazing as always. I’ve used her many times to watch my dog. She comes highly recommended!
Thank you Melissa for watching Piper. She always has so much fun at your place! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fence yard that is checked in between visits. I prefer crates for sleeping purposes since I am home the majority of the time. I don’t require crates, but it does give a safe place for them to go to during sleeping hours or if they decide they want their own time away from the other pups.

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet
It’s always good for me to know what a typical day looks like for your pup, any medications, where they typically sleep, any elopement tendencies and of course anything that might be specific to them.
A typical day
A typical day in the house of dog can be anything from throwing a ball for a game of fetch, scent work treat searches (which they love), to walking around the neighborhood or park with all the sniffing time a pup could want! We also get lots of nap time in, because who doesn’t love a nap?!

Availability
I am a full time pet sitter and am home outside of random errands. Occasionally we go out but usually not gone more than two to four hours at most. Thanks for considering me!
