Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover w/ very flexible schedule
I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and couldn’t imagine it any other way. From playful puppies like my Pekingese, Vanilla Bean, to senior dogs like my beloved Pumpkin—whom I cared for until he passed away at the age of 18 in late 2023—I’ve supported dogs at every stage. My experience includes managing medications, preparing special diets, and providing dedicated companionship. I have experience with cats as well, and had my own cat for 10 years until she passed away. Kitty was the absolute best! Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to care for their pets, sometimes for extended periods. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats by walking, feeding, and offering company while owners are away. Additionally, attending multiple training sessions with my own dog has given me a strong foundation in obedience and positive reinforcement. For me, caring for pets isn’t just a responsibility; it’s what I genuinely enjoy and take pride in ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I walk my dog daily and provide him with several small meals throughout the day. My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming space for any visiting pup. With a large fenced-in backyard, there’s plenty of room for free play and exercise multiple times a day—perfect for keeping tails wagging and energy happy!
Ratings and reviews
Melissa did great with our dogs!! They can be timid with some people but they always warm right up to her. She’s also great at communicating & letting us know how they are! Highly recommend!
Melissa was great! We booked with her kind of late & she was able to make it work. She sent lots of pictures, left detailed notes & made sure our dog was well taken care of!
Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Melissa was very timely and responsive. I enjoyed the photos she shared of my cats during her visits.
Very attentive to our puppy! He absolutely loved spending time with her!!
Melissa was so great in helping let our dogs out in a time crunch! She responded very quickly and was great with our dogs. Will definitely rebook!!

Schedule
I have a flexible work-schedule (self-employed), which allows me to have time to be open for doggy walks and pet care needs. I love walking outside, so to have a pup keep me company is an added bonus! Pets are a big part of our lives, and I thank everyone who allows me to take care of such an important member of their family. Your fur-baby is in good hands ❤️
