Responsible, loving, and kind

Pet care experience

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 14 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 14 and 19 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.

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!

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.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.
