Pet care experience
My name is Melissa and I absolutely love dogs of all sizes! I've worked with dogs my whole life. I have a large family and have always cared for my all the pets while my family was on vacation. I've also worked at 2 different doggie daycare/boarding facilities and worked with all kinds of dogs from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane! I currently work in health care and am gone for usually 6 hours Monday through Friday, sometimes shorter. I live in a townhouse with a decent sized yard and it is fenced. Also, I have 2 little children so they must be good with kids! I also have a cat who doesn't mind dogs so they also have to be gentle around cats. I look forward to caring for your dogs and thank you for your consideration.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard with tennis balls and other toys for your dogs to play with. If your dog is crate trained, I am happy to crate them at night. I always put on soothing music for dogs to help them relax in a new environment while in their crate. Being crate trained is not necessary though!

Information melissa j. would like to know about your pet
It is very important for me to know if the dog has any behavioral issues such as going potty in the house, separation anxiety, or if they don't do well with cats so I can make proper arrangements.
A typical day
I live in a large neighborhood where I can take them for walks. I'll make sure to follow feeding schedules and give them lots of attention! I'll take them outside frequently and play fetch as well.

I work day shift, Monday through Friday but they are short hours so I would not be gone very long. If ever needed, my mother also lives one block over.
