Disneyland for your pet!

Pet care experience

I am a 33 year old animal lover looking to provide great affordable petsitting to you and your pets! We take our dogs everywhere with us. They are part of our family and that’s how your dog will be treated when they stay with us, as part of our pack. I am available for pet boarding and doggy daycare. I have had experience caring for dogs for long periods of time of up to a month. I myself have had dogs, fish, birds, and rabbits throughout my lifetime. I am comfortable with any pet, and breed. I can also take care of horses as I have taken classes on how to care and ride western. I can take care of animals with special diets and needs as well. I have great references! If you are looking for a reliable, friendly and trustworthy pet sitter look no further! I currently live in my home with my husband, 1 year old daughter and 3 dogs. I have 2 German Shepherds and an Australian Shepherd mix. They are very sweet and love having new furry friends over. We have a large gated and fenced backyard that gives your pet a nice run around area to play fetch and get all their zoonoses out. Your pet will have access to our complete home and will be let outside for playtime with supervision. I have loved dogs all my life and have been around them since I was born. My grandmother rescues dogs and so I have been around different breeds and different temperaments throughout.

Melissa was incredible! Our trip ran over and we ran later than expected… she was understanding and took such great care of our precious dog. Thank you so much! We will be using her again in the future!

So grateful that Melissa was able to watch Yogi last minute! She kept us updated with pictures. It looked like Yogi had a great time with them :) would definitely rebook with her again!

I went on a 4 day trip to San Francisco which involved leaving early and coming back late. Melissa was very flexible with her drop off/ pick up times. Chapo seemed very happy with his stay and he must of had a great time with her sweet dogs. She sent me pictures of Chapo during his stay, which helped relieve some of my sadness about leaving him. I would definitely recommend leaving your dogs with her!

Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I would like to know the basics. If there is anything I need to know before pet sitting like special diet, habits, and temperament.

A typical day

I will spend as much time as needed with your pet. I can personalize my time to meet the necessities of each pet. We love going on walks around the lake and on occasional hikes.
