Animal lover who works from home!

Pet care experience

I work full time from home and travel occasionally for both work and pleasure. Volunteering is special to me and I have been active in many charitable events benefiting associations such as Special Olympics, Relay for Life, RMH, GKTW, etc. Binx and Bodi are my pups. They’re both CKC toy poodles that are intact. I grew up with all types of animals, always a dog, fish, and turtle. Have had ferrets, birds, and a snake. My shepherd had a lot of allergies which involved many cleanings and a strict regimen of ear meds. Have experience with large and small dog medicinal needs. I’m big on pictures and can also send updates.

Melissa took such good care of Sully and Sarge. She sent pictures to us as well. You could tell from the pictures that our pups were living their best life at Melissa’s. Her Binx was a good playmate for our boys as well. We will definitely use her again.

Melissa was a excellent sitter for our snoopy! She accepted our last minute rover request and took very good care of our dog. I would definitely recommend her to others and plan to use her again as a Rover sitter!

I’m detail oriented and tend to pay attention to what’s going on, both socially and physically. While I have been blessed with Binx not having many ailments, my previous dog was not as fortunate and I was very diligent with ear cleanings, injections, diet, whatever she needed and I will do the same for yours!

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

They are spunky and use their voices a lot. Binx was raised with a husky, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

A typical day

There’s space to run and play both inside and outside, with baskets of toys. Morning breakfast and evening dinners, and daily treats. When weather permits, lots of outside time.

I have set up a few working stations throughout the house to keep the scenery motivating and things more interesting for pups as well. Some days we’re out in the backyard and they can run or sun bathe all day. Rainy days have the run of the house. Many, many outside breaks throughout the day.
