Your Pets Home Away From Home ❤️

Pet care experience

Hello. My name is Melissa. I’ve had pets my whole life. Ranging from dogs, cats and hamsters. My first dog was a blind chihuahua. I have experience with special needs dogs. I’ve also had a variety of breeds ranging from Pit bull/Akita, beagle, yorkie, boxer/mix. I’ve also raised and have had plenty of cats. I also rescued/foster cats for a year. I love animals, all of them. Your pet will be safe with me, loved, and well taken care of, possibly spoiled with me. 😊 As of now I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home. He also helps me with our house guests 🐶 I am a mom to 4 beautiful children, ages 10,5,4,and 1. Our family cat, Dorito who is 3 years old and we absolutely adore him. My kids love animals as well!

This review was a long time coming but Melissa cared for my dog last summer. I was so nervous to leave him and she calmed my nerves every step of the way. She sent me various adorable snapshots of my baby without me even asking. She went out her way to make sure Marty was enriched and well cared for. She went above and beyond for me and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

Melissa is amazing as always! We took a trip out of the country and felt confident that our furbaby was safe in her care. Thank you so much Melissa ❤️

I have personally grew up with Melissa. Her work ethic and compassion towards animals is second to none! She has been a animal conosure and lover of all pets as far back as I can remember! If you are seeking a home for your fur baby to be in with a top quality sitter look no further! You have found the epitome of just that.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog good with kids and cats? Do they have a set time for breakfast / dinner? Do they have a set time to go out? Are they house trained?

A typical day

I live near a park with lots of grass area, one of the areas is a locked area for dogs. I will take them there to get exercise. While at home, I have doggy toys that your dog can chew. Of course kids, my kids love to play along with the dogs we get.
