Love your pet like my own

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Melissa and I have a huge soft spot for animals (especially dogs). I would love to care for your pet while you can be stress free and know they are in good hands. I live with my fiancé and between the two of us someone is home for the majority of the day. We have both grown up taking care of animals and now have one of our own. She is very sweet and loves to play. We love cuddling, long walks, playing tug-of-war and being by each other’s side. I have over 5 years of experience with drop in visits for dogs and other animals. I am temporarily unable to board pets, but am available for walks, drop in visits, house sitting. I keep my calendar up to date with my availability. I am easygoing and flexible. I also love taking pictures, so you will be updated daily if not more. If your pet is staying with us you can expect them to have free roam of our home, and lots of cuddles and love. Any dog that deals with seperation anxiety is sure to feel better while staying with us. We always monitor play, and give each dog one on one attention, and time to relax. Honestly, dogs that stay with us get the most attention considering they are our guest. I look forward to meeting, playing with and caring for your pets.

Melissa was wondeful with Lucie! She provided pictures and text updates along with excellent care for our dog. We felt very confident that Lucie was in Melissa's good hands!

Melissa was great with our dog Charlie. First time dog owners (and first time away), she was fantastic- even coming ahead of time to meet with us all. Melissa kept us up to date while we were away with many photos and videos. Would definitely recommend.:)

Melissa is the absolute best! She cared for my Leo and Larry Girl like they were her own. She sent countless pictures and multiple messages a day. She also took care of my house and yard. I’m definitely having her take care of my pet kids in the future. Thank you!!!

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your pet gets along with others. Does your pet have a history of any destructive behavior I should be aware of. I ask that owners make sure their pet has a proper collar and leash etc. I also would need the owner to supply the food they normally eat if coming for boarding. Lastly, is your pet up to date on all shots/vaccines?
