I work from home-large fenced yard
Pet care experience
I have lived with and loved dogs all of my life. I believe dogs benefit from (and deserve) attention and affection and that they want that human contact. In addition to taking care of my own dogs, I have been a pet-sitter for friends and neighbors for all of my adult life. I have a large, fenced in back yard for running and playing where the dogs can go inside and out multiple times during the day. In addition to that, I usually walk the dogs who are in my care for two to three miles each day and for those who are very high energy or who need more exercise, I take them for a 3 mile run on a wooded path. I work from home so dogs virtually always have human company.

Great with Erebus! Takes good care of my pup and reliable.
Melissa is very good with our old dog. She comes at the scheduled times and gives her plenty of love and affection. Highly recommend!!
Charlie had a great experience with Melissa! He got lots of exercise and attention, and he can't wait to go back :) Thanks again Melissa
Our dog Hazel had a great time with Melissa and her family. Melissa took great care of our puppy, especially since our dog has a knee injury and required some extra care. We really enjoyed the updates and pictures during her stay. Hazel seemed calm and relaxed when we picked her up and seems to have made good friends with Melissa’s dog. We will definitely be booking with Melissa again next time Hazel needs a place to stay!

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences, as I love all dogs from tiny to huge! I don't mind if they are smelly, puppies, seniors, high energy, slobbery or needy. The only dogs that I will refuse are those who are truly aggressive and pose a threat to others.
A typical day
All dogs who stay with me with be treated as members of my family. We have a large back yard for running and playing, a kiddie pool for water play and many nearby parks and trails for walking and running. Some dogs prefer to curl up on the couch and sleep, and that's fine too.
