I am a dog lover , I have had the honor of being the mother of a beautiful minature pincher named Brooklyn a.k.a babygirl . She was in my life for eleven years . I lost her to diabetes . She was the love of my life . She showed me true unconditional love. Her passing was one of the hardest periods in my life. Recently on July 5, 2016 I decided after 4 long years to adopt a recuse dog. A Beagle/Bassett hound . I named him Pacino . After my favorite actor Al Pacinco. He is now Four years old and has brought light back into my life . I love getting to know him better. Everyday is an adventure.His quirky expressions, outgoing attitude, loving personally puts a smile on my face . He is an amazing addition to my family. He truly warms my heart. I know how to administer medications, I have patience ,so I love teaching dogs how to do tricks no matter what their age. I can administer both oral and injected meds due to the history with my min pins diabetes. My husband calls me Snow White because stray animals just flock to me. I am home full-time and available 24/7 for your pets needs ..

Melissa always goes above and beyond to care for my dogs. She is very kind hearted and a true animal lover. My dogs love seeing her as well. Melissa is the best dog sitter I could ask for.

Melissa is great! Cared for my greyhound and GSD for a whole week while I was out of town. She made me feel very comfortable and there were no issues at all! 10/10 communication and professionalism.

I would just like to know their temperament , and if they have ever bitten anybody before. I have no breed preference I will need to know any special care instructions, allergies, or medical precautions to keep as my priority when caring for your pet, all so your pets feeding schedule and sleeping schedule to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
