I love dogs!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dogs big and small. I have always had at least one dog and can't imagine not having dog energy in my life. I have experience working with timid and aggressive dogs and dogs with special needs. I had an epileptic 135 lb shepard mix. I currently have a 60 lb pit-lab mix with boundless energy and we'd love to go hiking with your dog(s). I have cared for lots of other dogs over the years as well. I am kind but assertive and would be happy to go along with your training plan or help with training. I am also experienced with horses and farm animals (as well as cats) and would be happy to care for them as well!

Melissa was the first sitter I've had and I was somewhat nervous because I am crazy about my fur baby. Melissa gave me updated texts and photos the entire time. She was reliable, polite and overall great! She is my official pup sitter from here on out!

Of all the dog owners and lovers I've met over the years, I respect Melissa's handling skills and care more than anyone. She can be firm with rules, and is incredibly gentle and loving and authentically cares about the comfort and health of any dog. She has cared for my dog while I have been out of town for years, and it's a huge peace of mind knowing my pup will be happy, safe, loved, and cared for in every way. Highest recommendation possible.

Melissa's approach with our dogs was careful and kind. She helped our special pooches (we have 2) interact positively with each other and her pack. She's a dog whisperer! Hikes in local parks, walks around the neighborhood, weekly exercise routine...She did it all. Even helped make sure our beagle mix got his daily medicine and extra care. Thank you Mel for all your K9 support.

Melissa is one of the most dedicated, compassionate and caring people I know. She went to great lengths to provide a great life for her dog she had adopted who had special medical and behavioral needs. I would--and have--leave my beloved dog in her care.
