Pet care experience

Let me pamper your pooch: )

September of 2015 we had to put our precious black lab down. She is so greatly missed. I was pet sitting before so she would have playmates, but now I do it because it is "therapy" for me to have the fur babies around me. I promise to take care of them as if they were my very own. I know how precious and priceless they are to their owners. I have had several dogs in the past few months that didn't want to go home: ) That must account for something! Please feel free to ask any questions that would ease your mind. We are currently available full time. Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. Your vacation will be worry free.

Never thought we would find such a fabulous sitter for our little Rudy until we found Melissa. Rudy loves staying at her home and just struts right in making himself at home! Melissa constantly stayed in touch while we were away with pictures and updates. So happy to have found her!

Melissa and her husband were fantastic from start to finish. Excellent communication before, during and after the stay. Always sending pics and letting me know how things were going. Will definitely use in the future.

I’m always reassured that leaving Loki with Melissa means he’s in good hands! Loki feels safe and loved in their home, and they treat him like family. Trust that Melissa will always take care of your pets with the utmost care and attention.

Melissa and Mike are amazing hosts! They look after our fur babies as if they are their own. We get regular updates and photos of the dogs and the dogs really enjoy their time with them. Melissa and Mike give us peace of mind that our dogs are well cared for and loved in our absence. We recommend them highly!
