Dog lover of all shapes and sizes

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Melissa! I grew up in Alaska and recently moved here from North Carolina. I have been around dogs of all different breeds and sizes almost my entire life. I have experience with dog training and love seeing them light up with excitement when they learn something new. Through the years, I’ve watched many of my friends and family’s pets. I believe our pets should be treated like family and I will do just that. I recently lost my 9 year old Boerboel (South African mastiff) to heart disease. I understand the importance of having someone you can trust with your fur baby. I believe that animals are a persons best friend and I hope I get the opportunity to form a bond with yours by being a dependable person for you to rely on. I look forward to meeting your doggy!

Melissa is the definition of a dog person. I watched her as a wonderful owner of her own dog, and she’s even helped take care of my dogs. Simply put, she lives for them. My dogs are always so happy to see her, and I feel safe and comfortable leaving them with her. If you want someone to watch or care for your dogs, she’s the perfect fit. Their age or size doesn’t matter, she doesn’t discriminate, she just loves all dogs. I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and am able to crate them if needed as well. I have experience with advanced dog training. I understand the safety needed when meeting dogs and interacting with them. The safety of your pet is most important and I want them to feel as comfortable as they should :)

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

Any special quirks or needs your pup may have. I’ve taken care of pups that have been afraid to walk in hardwood floor! Things like this are what I’d prefer to know so I can be prepared to give the best care to your pup!

A typical day

I love that every breed has a different type/level of exercise they prefer. I love learning what makes them light up and enjoy life! That could be anything from fetch, tug of war, scent games, hide and seek, or even sitting back and relaxing!
