Dog Lover Who Works From Home!

Pet care experience

I had a dog from puppy to senior for her whole 14 year life! Additionally, family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to sit for their pup(s) while out of town/working. I walk, feed, bathe, and love on other's pets as if they were my own.

Melissa was amazing! Our pup had a great stay and was happy. We received updates with pictures on how he was doing.

Melissa was outstanding! She took great care of our fur baby, keeping our Frenchi’s daily routine as normal as possible, yet playing with her as much as our baby needed. Melissa also provided daily updates with pictures which put any concerns at ease. Thank you Melissa, we’ll definitely book with you again for our next boarding needs!

Melissa was FABULOUS with our golden retriever!!! Our dog is a little older (8) and i'm always super nervous about leaving her! Melissa was so sweet and sent us plenty of updates and pictures during our trip. Huxley was relaxed and her happy self when I picked her up. We will absolutely use Melissa again and we're so grateful to have such an awesome dog sitter so close by!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences that I can accommodate while we hang out so they can be as comfortable and happy as possible while they wait for you to return.

A typical day

I’m always up for taking dogs on walks. We have ample walking trails and paths right outside my front door in my neighborhood! Playing fetch and tug-of-war are close seconds for helping your dog get the exercise they need while staying with me.
