About Melissa E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a single family home with a fenced backyard. The yard is on the smaller side but luckily my neighborhood has a ton of great walking trails for your pup & I to explore.
Home
Information Melissa E. would like to know about your pet
Every dog has their quirks & idiosyncrasies. The more I know about them, even the less desirable behaviors, the better care I can give them & the safer I can keep them. I of course also want to know about their typical daily routine so I can keep to their schedule as much as possible.
A typical day
If you have an active dog, my neighborhood has plenty of wooded walking trails to explore on a nice, long walk. For those very high energy dogs, my husband loves having company when he goes on his morning runs. Or if your dog is more of a couch potato we can have a chill day at home where we just relax and cuddle. I always cater the activity level to each individual dog.

Caring For Your Pet Like My Own
Pet care experience
As a pet parent myself, I know how challenging & stressful it can be to find a dog sitter that you trust. I pride myself on making your dog feel at home & caring for them as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets in the home since my dear dog passed away after 15 years, but I am happy to direct all of that love to the dogs in my care. I am a SAHM so I have a flexible schedule & your pup will get plenty of attention. I currently only board one dog at a time, although I am open to accepting multiple dogs as long as they are from the same household/family. My two daughters (10 & 13 yo) also love animals & are very dog savvy. I have a special spot in my heart for seniors after caring for my own dog in her twilight years & knowing the special challenges that go along with that. Our family recently moved back to the area after years abroad so I am excited to build up my client base in this area. Looking forward to meeting you & your pups! 🐶
Reviews
I highly recommend Melissa. She provides a very loving, caring, and supportive environment for our 12-year-old dog who has anxiety issues. Melissa was diligent about providing our dog her meds, taking her out on walks, and sending daily updates and photos. She also asked important questions to ensure that our dog received the best possible care. The fact that Melissa has a fenced lot and only accepts one dog at a time was a big plus for our situation. If you want superb, loving care for your pup, Melissa is your go-to person!
The best!
Melissa gave our dog a nice long walk and took great pup pics, even took some of our packages inside!
The best!
