Safety, trust & environment

I have two dogs of my own. I feed twice a day breakfast and supper. I crate when I am out of the house. In the house if all dogs get along well and have good settles they can all be out, if there are any that don't get along I will do rotations so dogs have turns getting out.

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

My preference is dogs who are use ro regular walks. I do require dogs to be very comfortable in a crate, they will likely not spend much time in there but I believe they are necessary for emergencies.

A typical day

Sniffing walks are my favorite way to offer a physical and metal exercise. I also offer games and play custom to the dogs interests. I can deal with food based reward, praise, or my favorite play based reward for when I am working with your dog.

Pet care experience

I started in my teens and early 20s with doing in home pet care. I now have dogs and a family of my own so can no longer do in home pet care but would like to try to offer boarding from my house. I am well experienced with a variety of dog breeds my specialty would be dogs that have high exercise requirements.

Melissa was a dream with my two chiweinnies. I could tell from the photos and updates how comfortable and safe they felt and she showed them all the care, affection, inclusion and exercise that I would provide myself. I would not hesitate to recommend and use again.
