will love your fur baby like my own

Pet care experience

Hi!! I have a special love of animals!! I have a small, 4 pound dog that is actually a certified service animal. He was certified after losing my 3 month old son on Thanksgiving night 2016!! He is very very well trained and gets along with others. I will love your fur baby like my own! I can accommodate and gladly honor any special needs or requests to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible!! The care and love that I can give your pet is definitely from my heart! Give me a chance to give your pet a great day everyday that you are away or need drop in visits or dog walks. Whether you are away for a week, a day, or just an average work day, I would love to have the opportunity to care for your baby!!

Melissa was amazing and treated our house, dogs, and fish like her own family! We are so grateful for her and hope she can watch our pups for us in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I would like for you to know that although I do have 2 wonderful small fur babes of my own, I never bring them along when I take care of your babies! I believe that your pets deserve 100% of my care and attention!! I do not want your babies to be uncomfortable in their own environment by bringing my dogs into unfamiliar territory! I do prefer house sitting in order to keep your pets in their normal routine as much as possible!
