Missy is truly a pet all star! She is extremely friendly and understanding of you and your pets needs. She made the process so smooth and easy for me and my cat. I couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind and my happy kitty!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2br 2bath apartment with a small patio. The dog parks close by as well as lots of places to walk around town. I take my own dog Ulysses to Crown mtn park, Basalt mtn, or up by Sopris at least once a day. The Rio Grande trail is right by my place as well.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

Any medication you pet needs, if their okay around other dogs, if their okay off leash, what kind of activities your pet enjoys, if they're okay being left alone, what kind of diet they have, and what treats their aloud to have.

A typical day

First thing in the morning I take Ulysses out to go to the bathroom. I feed him when we get back. Then we go to the Crown Mountain park. I take him to the pond by the tennis court for about an hour. Then we come back and hang out until I have to go to work. I keep the patio door open so he and lay down outside. I take him out to go to the bathroom before I leave. My boyfriend Scott gets home by 3 and I leave around 3:30 but sometimes 5:30 depending on the shift. I get home around 10pm but Scott takes the dog on another walk and feeds Ulysses when I'm at work. So, your dog will always be with me or Scott (and Ulysses)
