Highlights
Pet care experience
PLEASE READ ENTIRE PROFILE
**New clients: Please read all information in the "availability section" carefully.* About me: I have had pets for my entire life and I've also worked for a pet sitting company for 15 years. That experience has included administering medication when necessary, adhering to feeding routines, and providing exercise and playtime. I truly enjoy interacting with dogs and your pet will be in great hands. Also, I have two dogs of my own who are both very friendly, so your pet will have some friends to play with during their stay.

Ratings and reviews
Velma loved staying with Melissa!! She was very well cared for and had a great time playing with her dogs, too! We will be taking her to stay with Melissa again soon.
I dropped my little dog Bella off for a long weekend and she had so much fun running around the yard with Melissa’s dogs! Melissa was quick to respond, sent pictures every day and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Bella was in good hands!
My pups were very well cared for while I traveled for the Holidays and they loved to play with Melissa’s other dogs. She was an excellent communicator and sent photos or videos every day.
Melissa was great again with our dog. She definitely understands dog behavior and knows how to work with them. Thanks!
Melissa was great! Stayed in communication with daily pics which is great! I would recommend her as Luna came back happy and well cared for ! Thanks Melissa !!!
Melissa took great care of my pup Kleo for an extended stay, sending regular updates/pictures. Kleo came back happy, healthy, and exhausted from all her playing/running around with Melissa’s pups! Thanks Melissa :D.

Schedule
Things to note: 1. Meet and greets are required for new clients before booking a stay. 2. If you are a new client and want to book for a week or more, I prefer to do a one night trial run to make sure it is a good fit. 3. During the school year, I work full time and will be out of the house for about 8.5 hours. If I need to be gone longer, I will have another sitter come to the house to give the dogs a potty break. Also, when working, during the week I can only schedule drop offs and pick ups for after 5 pm. 4. On weekends and during the summer, I sometimes take day trips, so dogs must be comfortable with me being gone for up to 8 hours. If it is longer than that, I will schedule a visit with a dog walker to let them outside for a potty break. 5. When I am out of the house, dogs must be comfortable being placed in a crate or placed in the kitchen with a baby gate. For the safety of your pets and mine, I do not usually leave guest dogs out when I am not home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
About my house: I have a fenced yard, so weather permitting, dogs get plenty of time outside to run around during their stay. Depending on how well dogs are on a leash, I do provide walks sometimes if it can be done easily along with my two dogs.
Pets
A typical day
When I am home, dogs will be provided with frequent potty breaks, plenty of attention and lots of opportunity to play with both my dogs.
