Pet care experience

I have loved pets all of my life. Now I am focused on loving yours. I have a flexible schedule to come to your pet or host your pet here with our loving family. I am currently focused on working at home with pets and raising my children. I have been in management for most of my working career and due to our recent move for my husband's job, I am focusing on doing things with my time that I really love. I have been contracting with a pet sitting company and have a handful of regular clients. I am very appreciative of the chance to do this and look forward to a chance with your fur family member(s), because well they are our family! We recently said goodbye to our Morgan, who gave us love and loyalty until she was 13.5. We are looking to foster and care for all animals as we find our future pets. One of the things you can count on with us; is that we care as much as you do about your pet's comfort and happiness as you do. Please feel free to inquire about any/all needs that your family might have for your pet. We will do everything we are able to customize your care.

Melissa was amazing! Our Riley was boarded at her home and quickly became part of the pack! Melissa sent us photos during our trip to let us know that Riley was doing just fine and was getting along nicely with the other puppies. Great service!

Our two dogs, Sasha and Skye, had another great visit at Melissa’s home. They were treated as part of the family, and they especially enjoyed the attention from her 3 children. Melissa kept us updated with photos and reports a few times a day. Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa and her family were welcoming of our two very different dogs, Sasha, who takes over any place she visits, and our very fearful Pyrenee mix, Skye. Communication was great, lots of pictures, and it was clear both dogs got a lot of attention, since they crashed for hours after we got home.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

It is important to have shared if your dog is social and happy to meet other dogs and animals, it is important to share with us their favorite habits and not so good habits too. We want to know how to customize your pets time to create a great stay.

A typical day

We play in the yard, we go on long walks if able. Kids and dogs always have a lot to "play". I am happy to feed with toys and puzzles as well as use to revisit basic obedience which stimulates their brain and puts them at ease. Snuggles and cuddles are always included too!

I am currently a mom homeschooling our children and using the time to build relationships with pet owners in the community. We are usually home or in the nearby community learning or volunteering. Pets typically aren't home without us for longer than 2.5-3 hours at any time.
