Pet care experience

Beach Access For Walks and Runs!

I am a stay at home energetic mother of two teens, 1 dog and 5 chickens. I live on a large park that has miles of trails and beach access for your pup to explore. I am not phased by inclement weather being I was born and raised hiking and camping in Colorado. So if your pup is up for the rain so am I. My home is completely dog friendly and so is the furniture if needed. I average 3-4 walks a day while caring for animals in my home. I am comfortable giving medications and am great with senior dogs and puppies. I can offer daily updates and pictures via email or text to give you peace of mind while you are away. I look forward to meeting and caring for your loved fur baby!!

Was very responsive, and my dogs loved her. She also cleaned up after herself and left the floors clean (I know my dog sheds a lot).

Melissa was a fantastic sitter! She was so communicative and made sure we knew Sunny was good! Even over the holidays, she was on time and put love and care into taking care of our pup! I will definitely book her again!

Melisa is wonderful! She sends pictures about their adventures and checks in about the stay. Can't recommend her enough.
