Experienced dog sitter!
Pet care experience
I’m a stay at home dog mom and I have lots of experience taking care of dogs and other pets (cats, horses, birds, bunnies). I love all dogs and animals and have a flexible schedule to work with you! I am available for dog walking and dog sitting, either in your home or mine. I have had many different breeds of dogs so I am comfortable and familiar with different needs and personalities. I can also help with dog training or puppy training. Our two dogs are our children and any dog who comes to stay is treated just like family! Bogey and Bentley love all dogs and are very welcoming. All dogs are kept inside and get lots of love and attention. I’m home for frequent play sessions and potty breaks.

She loves animals and does great with our dog. She is prompt and reliable.
My dogs had a great time with Melissa, her husband, and her two pups in their lovely home. I am extremely picky with who watches my dogs (especially because I have one who can be a little dog selective sometimes), and I felt very comfortable and relaxed knowing they were safe and happy there. Melissa was very quick to respond to any of my messages and super flexible with our travel plans in regards to drop-off and pick-ups. I would have loved a few more photo/video updates, just because I love seeing puppies play but that’s no big deal. They came home happy and tired and we will definitely be booking again as soon as we need a dog sitter! :)
Melissa is excellent! Very responsive and took amazing care of my Golden Retriever. She has 2 dogs of her own and they played so well together. I had to extend my stay by one night and she was very accommodating. My dog felt very at ease.
I needed to leave my dog for a long week-end to attend a wedding out of town. Our dog has only been kenneled once, and doesn't get left with strangers very often. So, I wanted to make sure she would be in a safe place with someone who could give her attention. Melissa was unsure about whether she would actually be available on the dates I needed, but we went ahead to schedule a few hours of daycare so our dog could get used Melissa and her home in case she was available. Our dog did great with Melissa, who sent frequent pictures during her four-hour stay. Her dogs were friendly and got along great with our girl. She has a great yard, and our dog did well at her house. Although Melissa ultimately wasn't able to watch her because she herself was going out of town, I would have had no hesitation to leave our dog with her.
