I will care for them as you do.

Pet care experience

Ever since I could remember I loved to be around animals. I am patient and have never met a dog I didn't like. I I believe every animal deserve to be loved and treated with proper care. I have owned and taken care of animals that were rescues and are nervous in the world. I love a challenge so a misbehaved or timid and shy dog I know need extra patience and care. I have taken care of disabled dogs that need help to potty or walk. I have trained puppies to seniors. I know animal CPR and first aid.

Melissa always does a great job. The pups are very well cared for and she knows how to deal with the surprises they come up with.

Melissa is truly my favorite. I highly recommend her. She takes excellent care of my three dogs, making sure they get all the love and cuddles they deserve when I'm not around. I couldn't ask for a better person to put my mind at ease.

Melissa went above and beyond to care for my cats as if they were her own. I am so thankful for all of her help and for keeping my precious babies safe. I would love to book her again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet just as you do. I will follow your directions and respect your wishes. As you know your animals likes and dislikes. I will always protect them and keep them safe. While your furbaby is in my care I will always make them my first priority. The will have my full attention.

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what they can tolerate and what they cannot as in exercise. Also, if they are shy or outgoing. It helps to know if they have a favorite toy or blanket that makes them feel secure. Do they love belly scratches or ear rubs?

A typical day

I love to play with animals and bring out their personalities. I love taking dogs to the dog park so they can interact with other dogs and get plenty of exercise. I love to tease cats with toys so they get stimulated and exercise. For senior animals the same but at their pace. I am willing to walk them at their favorite spots that they are used to and will feel comfortable in their surroundings.
