Lover of all fur babies

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my entire life and always had responsibility for taking care of them! As I settled into my current home I now have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 turtle and 7 chickens. My family and friends are often asking me to pet sit for them.

Melissa provided great care for my pups, and she was able to accommodate a special request. My two loved being a part of her large pack for a few days!!

Melissa took very good care of Khloe. Khloe was anxious the first day, but settled in after that. Has slept since I picked her up. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would highly recommend Melissa

Melissa took great care of our dog. She was great with communication. My family loved receiving the photos and videos throughout the stay.

Information Melissa I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors. I have experience with giving animals medications and accommodating to what your pet may need.

A typical day

I can take your dog on a walk in our neighborhood and to the park where there is a large open field to play fetch or down to the boat launch and bring them for a swim. I also hike at a few local parks and forest reserves where I can give your dog plenty of exercise.
