Animals are my favorite 🤩

Pet care experience

I work from home for a dog company (with my two little fur buddies), so my life completely revolves around dogs. Over the years I've developed a strong understanding of dog behavior and communication techniques. I promise to give your dog all of the love and attention I can until they're back with their family again. I live next to state land with a nice walking trail. My yard is not fenced, so I will keep your dog on a leash or lead when in the yard. My dogs: I have a male and female, both around 20lbs each. Bo is an 13yo brindle Jack Russell mix. Wiley is a 10yo blonde terrier mix. They get along great with other dogs and would love to meet your pup(s) !

Melissa is the best! Our dog usually travels with us and we are so happy that Melissa was able to care for him while we were away. She is very conscientious, responsible, and caring. She gave him lots of attention and also provided us with detailed notes and great photos which enabled us to relax while away from home, knowing that he was being well cared for and in good hands. We highly recommend Melissa and will definitely call her again in the future. We also know that our dog is going to miss her visits!

Once I had to go back to work full time, I felt completely comfortable and at ease while Melissa let my puppy, Ray, out in the middle of the day. She would feed her, take her for a walk, play fetch, and give her so much loving! Ray was always so excited to see Melissa! She is so caring, sincere, and truly a dog lover. 5 out of 5 stars!

I love Mellissa! I would trust her with my child and my dogs! She is so sweet, caring and gentle! Any dog would be privileged to be puppysat by her!

I have a nice private backyard with a walking trail through the state land for dogs that would like a little adventure. Or if they prefer being a couch potato, there's plenty of room on the sectional!

Please let me know if your dog has any aggression towards other pets so that I can be sure everyone is safe and comfortable. Also advise me if your dog is not potty trained and I can be sure to bring them outside for lots of bathroom breaks.
