I'll love your dog like you do!
Pet care experience
I have a special place in my heart for puppies to adult dogs. I believe they deserve to have the utmost freedom and fun during a stay. I loved and cherished my recently deceased standard poodle of 12 years and understand the need for activity and attention all dogs require. I have a good sized backyard that is fenced in as well as direct access to walking trails. Empathy is my strongest asset especially as it pertains to our four legged furry friends. Playing, engaging, and ensuring their nutritional health is my ultimate goal. I will treat any dog that is in my home as a welcome guest. I recently had a 16 year old golden retriever stay in my home that required extensive care, and it was the most rewarding experience to love and care for such a wise dog. Any furry friend small to large is welcome in my home and heart.
Reviews
Melissa was amazing with our dog Milo. She took him for walks, sent daily updates and pictures. She treated him just like he was her own. I think he is already missing Willow. Will definitely use again when we go out of town.
I couldn't be more happy with my dog Bentely's care this past weekend with Melissa! We did a meet and greet with her and her dog a couple of weeks prior and had a great time walking our dogs together. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She treated him like he was her own dog. She gave him lots of love, cuddles and a daily walk. She is a real dog lover!
Melissa was wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of our dog Archie and was able to do so on short notice. We really appreciated her flexibility and quick communication. She is definitely a dog lover and Archie had a great time playing with her dog Willow.
Melissa clearly loves dogs, and gave Chloe a happy place to stay. She has a fenced yard, and a dog of her own, so Chloe was not alone at all. Also, she was very accommodating with drop off and pick up, we traveled out of state and had a weather delay on our return, Melissa was very gracious, so we were able to not feel stressed. Thanks, Melissa and Willow!!
