Pet care experience

My name is Melissa. I've grown up with dogs my entire life. I can not imagine my life without a furry companion. Although I typically leave her home when taking care of others, any other time my dog Emma goes everywhere with me! She is very friendly, loves to meet new friends and enjoys playing, as well as traveling. I am here to love and care for your pet while you are away. Whether that be a week, day, or just a couple hours. I promise your pet will be well taken care of to the best of my ability following all of your requests. While walking your pet I can provide gps services for you to track our walks as well as real time potty alerts! My dog absolutely loves it and I know yours will too! Although I do have a part time job away from the home my husband works form home. When boarding, your dog will never be left alone for more than a few hours. When not working I am available for 24/7 supervision. I love to take pictures and will be sure to send you daily updates. Please contact me if you have any other questions. I can't wait to hang out with your best friend! For discount please use: MELISH08579

Melissa helped out on a last minute request when we had a family emergency and had to leave town on short notice. She put our minds at ease knowing our dog and home were well cared for while we were away. She even went the extra mile and washed the sheets and towels she used while she was here. Thank you for everything Melissa.

Melissa is amazing as usual! She watched our little old dog in the past and now she is with our 2 big puppies. She sends pics and is so diligent.

Melissa is the best! Our dog isn’t in great health, but we were not worried at all with Melissa there. Wouldn’t have anyone but her.
