Your dog is part of your family

Pet care experience

I have grown up and cared for dogs all my life really. I have 2 dogs now that are a huge part of my life and happiness. I have had a puppy of my own and rescue dogs that were abused as pets. I know that time and a good home is very important to all dogs. I love thinking that I can help people that work or travel take care of their friend and pet like my own! I have lots of energy and very flexible schedule. I live in the fan. I own my home with a fenced yard. I can really work around most schedules and am happy to meet up before booking if that is desired. I look forward to hearing from you!

Melissa took care of my dog for an entire week while my wife and I were on vacation. We had been worried because our dog is very attached to us, as are we attached to her. Melissa sent us pictures to show us she was keeping busy and having a good time. It definitely allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. Melissa is a very caring empathetic person. We would be very comfortable working with her again. I know our pet will be well looked after, exercised and kept nice and clean. She has very friendly and docile dogs of her own that seemed right at home snuggling with their new friend.

Melissa has always taken wonderful care of her dogs. They are always well fed and loving pets and very well behaved. I would let her keep our pet anytime.
