Must love dogs!!! 🐶💌

Pet care experience

Hello hello! I'm Mel! I have been a dog lover my entire life, growing up with several dogs from small to large in size. I have a 2 cuties of my own now - Honey and Maple. They are both very friendly with other dogs. They love to play and romp around. I can provide basic training for your pup if you desire. Although I am not professionally trained, please let me know what you are working on at home and I will keep up the training while I am caring for your doggo. Consistency is key! 💯I promise to take great care of your best friend just like he/she is my own! And thank you for considering me 😊 While I 💖all doggos, some dogs may not be the right fit for my home. For instance, if your dog has been aggressive toward dogs or humans or is "territorial" (barking at front door, marking, etc.), then it may not be a good fit. I simply want you and your dog's experience to be a great one! Thanks so much!

Melissa was great as always! We did an extended stay for over a couple of weeks, and Kiya had a great time. We enjoyed the regular updates and photos. Thanks for watching her during our vacation!

This was our second time hiring Melissa to watch our dog. She was able to pick him up at the house, and drop him off the morning we returned. When flight delays and cancellations became an issue she was able to help us out to make sure our Pete was taken care of! So thankful for Melissa!
