Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or breed has any special needs or requests as I will try to assist them as best as I can.

A typical day

Exercise and stimulation are important. Whatever your dog likes or makes them happy we will do. Fetch, walking, dog parks or just relaxing. I have also attended several dog training courses!

Pet care experience

I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy.

Melissa kept me updated about my doggo and took her for plenty of long walks. She doesn’t have pets and their family lives in a dog friendly environment.
