Highlights
Pet care experience
I love dogs!
I have lived with dogs my entire life and have always been drawn to them. My Dad jokes that he would love to be one of my dogs because they are treated like royalty! There are always 2 to 3 dogs in my pack at all times along with 1 to 3 fosters. I have been fostering for Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary for about 15 years now and have been walking dogs at their Sanctuary facility for almost 13. I love to be around any dog of any size, but always have a soft spot for the shy guys or trouble makers:) I feel it's my job to do what I can to restore the animals faith in humanity after it was let down by the person who was trusted to take care of them. If you have a dog or dogs who need someone to come take care of them while you are away, I would love to do so! Or if you have a long day at work and would like them to get a walk, I can do that too:) Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon! Missy

Ratings and reviews
Great experience! Will definitely re book in the future.
Melissa was amazing with our dog! It was like he was on vacation too! He played with her dog and swam in the pool. Highly recommend!
Melissa is pretty awdome. Good setup. Dog was happy. So I was happy
I was gone for 10 days and was nervous about leaving my dogs. They had fun making new friends and were well taken care of. Thanks to Melissa for the great job. She reassured this nervous mama via text and let me know my girls were doing great. She even reported that my picky eater ate!
She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! My boys were super happy when I went and saw them and Melissa gave me many updates. She was very kind and very down to earth, would absolutely recommend and will come back if I need someone to watch my dogs again!
Melissa and Buster have made it very easy for me to recoup from a broken ankle by walking Penny three times a day for the last month plus. Penny absolutely adores them and is always anxious to go on her walks. They love her as much as she loves them with lots of kisses and hugs. I will definitely call on them in the future and recommend them to anyone who wants caring walkers or sitters.

A typical day
I let the dogs personality dictate our daily activities. If they prefer walks to toys, we will take a longer stroll and try to find a nearby park. Summer time can involve water fun or playing in the backyard.
