Safety, trust & environment
I have a one bedroom apartment. I still have an available crate for use as needed. My complex has a nature trail and dog park on site. There are also other trails nearby.
Home
Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should account for. I have had experience with dogs that have special needs. I prefer no animals that are highly aggressive or have a bite history of any kind given my own personal history with it.
A typical day
I have a nature trail and dog park at my complex, so I'm happy to get them out for exercise or play with toys, give them snuggles, whatever they like. I have also taken some dogs on hikes or other outings with me, when the owners allow.

Grieving Pet Owner Seeking to Help
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for my pet dogs for the last 20 years, two of them required special needs due to illness. I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life and also had a family farm for 11 1/2 years. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, differing ages and sizes. Both of my last two dogs recently passed away, so I’m seeking to offer care to help others in the meantime to fill the void of the loss. I will care for your pets as if they were my own.
Reviews
Melissa communicates well and took excellent care of our fur baby!
Melissa was great, very communicative and super sweet! Went above and beyond for my pup
Melissa did a great job watching our two dogs for a week. She was very responsive and asked good questions to ensure she understood each of their individual needs
Melissa was wonderful with our puppy. She was caring and communicative. I will be leaving my dog with her again for sure.
