Animals are just so fun
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Melissa. My husband Alex and I LOVE all animals and if we could we could have a farm but that’s expensive so we settle for doing this on the side to make extra cash and spend some time with other critters. We tag team caring for any pets we board so you will either be speaking to me or him on this app. We have 2 pups of our own and I love them like they are my kids. They are very friendly and welcoming to other animals including cats. I have a large fenced backyard and dog run area with shade, water bowls raised beds and kiddy pool for pups that like water. If the weather is nice I usually let the pups be outside as much as possible or until they want to come inside. When we’re home everyone is loose and free to roam the house as long as they are potty trained. Pups can hangout with us on the couches. Everyone sleeps in their crates, big dogs are usually left to sleep in the living room. I have extra dog beds. If we ever leave the house it won’t be for more that 3 hours. We give the pups potty breaks pretty frequently. The safety of all the pups is my priority always so for that reason I don’t allow all the pups to be loose and together if I’m not home to supervise. Everyone is always separated if we step out. Drop off times are before 8 am and pickup times are after 6pm. We will accommodate your pups as much as possible. Anything we can do to make your pup comfortable just let us know. We have been doing this for 3+ years and are pretty used to all types of pets. We have experience with fish, reptiles and small mammals as well.
Reviews
Awesome sitters again. They kept in contact with me with pictures and video of peanut. Thank you will do again.. thank you so much again!!!
Great communicator sent plenty of updates would definitely use her again ‼️‼️
Melissa came to my rescue when my other sitter fell through at the last minute. I appreciated the willingness to meet up before I left town and the communication I received while away. My pups had a great time with her crew and have enjoyed returned visits. Thanks Melissa!
Absolutely amazing and so caring. 10/10 recommend!

Good with other dogs? Feeding schedules? How should I approach your dog. Please make sure to bring their own food if they are allergic/ have sensitive tummies and if possible bring their crate. If you don’t have one no worries we have extras and also have a dog gated area inside and outside the home.
A typical day
We have a neighborhood park near by that I take the pups for walks. Usually takes 30 minutes there and back. We both love dogs so we usually snuggle them a ton and play with them and treat them like our own.

I only work part time and have lots of time to come home to check on everyone. I’m off Saturday-Monday. My husband is usually home when I am not so the pups get lots of free time.
