Bitsy's Beagle Play House
My husband and I live a stone's throw away from Mount Vernon. We have a wonderful neighborhood full of great smells perfect for long walks. I work from home so we have 24-hour supervision with flexible times for walking and playing. We have a wonderful little beagle Bitsy, a rescue, who loves to have guests over the house for naps and play. She sleeps a lot but livens up with company over. If your dog is on the lazier side, Bitsy loves to chill, however she will likely steal your dog's bed. :) Beagles are our favorite, small dogs 20 pounds and under are preferred. No puppies please. Why I love dog sitting Combined years of dog ownership between myself and my husband, over 30. We love beagles and have had labs too. My dog before this one was a blind lab so we cater to special needs as well. Senior dogs are be very welcome here. About my yard We have nicely landscaped yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs will be walked on the leash. My experience administering medication Pills, no problem.

Ratings and reviews
Melissa was great with our corgi, Porkchop! She remembered the little things that we suggested, like giving him a treat and putting on some music for him on her way out of the house, which we really appreciated. Her Rover cards were thorough and it was clear that she loves spending time with the dogs in her care. Highly recommend!
Great day with Melissa! Perfect atmosphere for our older, anxious dog. Calm, quiet place that we'll be using again.
Melissa was great with my chiweenie, Willar, as always. Willar enjoys the playtime and alway misses them afterward with a little whining after goodbyes.
Melissa and her husband took excellent care of my little guy. She provided daily updates and sent pictures of him. I was happy to see that he enjoyed his stay with Bitsy. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back.
Kiki had a great day with Melissa. She felt very at home from the moment we walked in (pretty unusual for our older anxious dog). Melissa kept us posted and immediately understood Kiki's needs and preferences. We will definitely be back!!
Willar, my chiweenie, had a great time with Melissa and Bitsy. She had playtime and naptime and also enjoyed getting some sun while laying out in their screened-in porch. I got updates and cute pics as well from her stay. Willar was comfortable and got to explore then sit back and relax which are her favorite things to do.
