Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible, loving, and kind
I have had animals all of my life and pet sat for many more. They become an extension to our family and are well loved and entertained. I'm a stay at home mom in my smoke free Hixson home and am looking for all types of hours. I am home almost all day everyday and our house is a family setting so they get the attention of more than just me. My home has a fenced in back yard. I have a 18 year old boy that lives here and also loves to help and runs energy out of energetic furbabies. I have a few small pets of my own that I keep locked in my room while boarding for just in case purposes or until we get to know our new pet visitors. I'm a stay at home mom of a 18 and 23 year old so I will be able to give your furbabies constant attention everyday of the week I like to keep your animal as close to their routines as possible as I have found it keeps the anxiety levels low so I like to communicate with the parents to keep everything as low key for the dog as possible.

Ratings and reviews
So thankful, they were able to watch my pup! He always has a great time with them.
Melissa was awesome! We needed a sitter a little last minute and thank goodness was Melissa was available. She was so organized and caring, sent updates often, and was proactive and flexible. We will definitely book with Melissa again if our schedules line up!
Melissa and her family took great care of Millie! They treated her like family, and she was very comfortable there. We will definitely try to book Melissa again next time we have travel plans.
Melissa and her family cared for my girl like she was one of their own. Melissa kept me updated throughout her stay with photos and messages. It means a lot to know she's comfortable and doing well when I have to be away.
Melissa loved my dog as much as we do. Her whole family helped her take care of our high energy Border Collie/Blue Healer mix.
Melissa and her family took great care of our rambunctious border collie. They played with her in their fenced in yard and made her part of their family. Thank you!

Schedule
I'm a stay at home mom of older children so the daily schedule here is very relaxed and someone is almost always home at all times so this will leave your pets with constant loving care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our house has a fenced in back yard that all of the pets love to run around in and enjoy not being leash walked. We allow them on our furniture with us and even beds in the evening to sleep if that's what they are used to at home. We do not crate here unless needed due to chewing habits and in that case I would ask the family to bring theirs. We try to keep their daily schedule as close to what they do at home as possible.
Pets
A typical day
Depending on the age and energy level of your dog we like to play in the fenced in yard with balls and frisbees and we also like to spend time cuddling and watching movies. We can cater to many different types of dogs an personalities.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDogs over 1 year oldUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatMelissa can host up to 5 pets per night
- Please keep me informed about any special needs or habits about your furbaby. We have dealt with many animals of all different types of personalities so we can easily adapt. I would mostly like to know if they are ok around men, children, other animals. These are most important to know upfront.
