Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Dog/Animal Lovers
I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.

Ratings and reviews
Melissa did such an amazing job! Her family is so sweet and we did not have to worry about anything. We got lots of updates and photos which was super nice. Bunker had a blast!
Melissa and her family took fantastic care of Fonzie!
Melissa was amazing - so was her family! I could tell the minute I met her and her daughter that Calvin would be in good hands. I didn’t worry about him at all. They took such good care of him 😊 I would highly recommend her. We will be booking again!
Melissa and her family were so kind and took wonderful care of our busy 7-month-old Mini Bernedoodle. Melissa was responsive and provided regular updates. She and her family kept our puppy busy, which is no small feat! Mocha was happy and very tired when she returned home from her weekend stay.
My pup was happy and taken care of
Melissa and her family took wonderful care of my dog over the weekend! She updated me with lots of photos and video of her having a blast. I would recommend Melissa highly.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
