Bitsy's Beagle Play House
Pet care experience
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.
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.
