I live in an apartment building with a fenced in court yard and two side yards. I love taking pups out to play during my work breaks!
Home
Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet
Since I am a mental health therapist, it's important that I generally have a quiet space so if your pup tends to bark a lot, it may not be a good fit.
A typical day
I like to play with your pup, especially outside if the weather permits in our fenced in yard, so toys are encouraged! I love throwing the ball up and down our hallways, it's usually a hit with other doggos!

Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm so excited to be able to take care of your furry loved ones! I have always been an animal person since I was young, having neighbors and family friends reach out to me to pet when they go on vacation. Once I got into adulthood, I sought out other opportunities to be around animals. I worked at a dog boarding farm when I was in grad school and I always tell people that it was the best job I ever had! I have also volunteered at an animal shelter as well, playing and taking care of doggos waiting for adoption!
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Ellie had a great stay with Melissa. She returned home very happy and energetic. Melissa was very good providing constant updates and a lot of pictures and video. 100% recommended.
Melissa was very communicative, and had timely response to all of my messages. She was attentive to Groot’s needs which is my biggest concern since he is a deaf dog which is not for everyone. Best part was seeing him super tired after his day of fun! Definitely will book again
Melissa is wonderful!! Iris loved her and staying with her so much. She gave great update with pictures and videos we appreciated so much. I would not hesitate to have Melissa do any and all future boarding needs.
Melissa is great! My dog can be pretty anxious, and she really went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and settled. You could tell she genuinely cared and was so patient with her. She also sent lots of updates and cute pictures, which made me feel really at ease. I’d absolutely book with her again
