Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my first priority so I make sure that I understand your animal’s needs and tendencies before coming in or out. Once I’m sure we are safe then it’s time to have fun in whatever way your pet likes. Some want a comfy snuggle and some need to work off some energy. I’m there for them.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors I need to account for and it’s always good to have their vet info displayed. It’s good to know if they love physical contact or if they prefer play with a favorite toy

A typical day

Stopping by whether I’m just checking in or about to go on a fun long walk I love to greet your pet and let them smell me to get comfortable. I want them to be happy and to have a chance to get their energy out

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs most of my life and raised two wonderful lab puppies. I’ve cared for friend’s and family’s animals and have a calm patient approach to animal care. I’ve even had hamsters and chickens.

Great experience! Good communication and timely. Received daily text with what the dogs were up to and some nice pictures as well. I felt like the directions I left were followed and the dogs were happy as I did not notice any behavior changes in them. Really pleased with how Melissa treated the dogs. Would definitely book again.

I can’t say enough good things about Melissa! She was incredibly responsible, always punctual, and followed every care instruction. Her trustworthiness gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves animals—our pets were so happy and relaxed under her care, and she even sent us updates with photos that showed them thriving. She went above and beyond, treating our furry family members like her own. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Melissa was great. She was very polite and easy to talk to. She took time with our cat and dog and kept them busy. She gave extra attention to our elderly cat. Would definitely recommend her 🐾
