A Perfect Retreat For Your Dog

About Melissa: I live in a nice home here in Sachse, TX with my loving family. I have been raised with a dog all of my life. As a dog LOVER, I always am in need of dog fix as I don’t have a dog anymore. It’s important for me to give your dog my full attention as they are furkids of yours and I will treat them as one of my children. Other facts about Melissa: My friends tend to ask me to dog-sit their furkid(s) when they are away for their vacation. They even trust me to house-sit their house to make sure everything’s in order when they get back. I have twins (they are 7 years old) and it's important for your dog to be comfortable around them too.

Best sitter ever! We did 5 days boarding with Melissa and our poodles loves her 🩷 Not only that her house is very clean and has a big backyard which our dogs usually loves to run. She took them for a walk frequently which I loved the most ! I'm a too much dog mom who has specific instructions when it comes to boarding, however she was following all the instructions and make sure m I'm satisfied and happy even im away. We will use her boarding again FOR SURE !!

Melissa is an amazing pup sitter!! She was so sweet and loving to my pup and sent me tons of photos and videos of my pup Charley while I was gone. She kept me updated and asked me how to care for him during a thunderstorm bc he was scared, and updated when he fell asleep that night. She took him on car rides bc he loves those and took him on walks. I will definitely be using her again! I picked my sweet baby up happy and content. Highly recommend!! <3

Melissa is so kind and thoughtful, and she loves the dogs! We had never used Rover before, but she was able to explain everything and kept constant communication with us while we were out of town. Loved the photos and videos of our pups! We will DEFINITELY use her again!

Melissa was amazing! Our dogs had such a great time there and seemed to really enjoy playing with her kids as well. She sent lots of pics and videos and our pups came back to happy and tuckered out. Will definitely book her again!

Melissa was wonderful to our older dog and took great care of her. She provided regular updates (both image and video) which made us feel much more at ease. Communication was seamless and there were zero issues, would highly recommend to anyone looking to find a good dog sitter. We would certainly (and hope to) use Melissa again!

Schedule

I work from home so I always need a company. If I need to go out to do an errand, my mom will be around so your pup will never be left alone. Your pup will be taken out on a walk twice a day around the community trails here in the area. We will give your pup a lot of loving attention and treat him/her as our own.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard. The gate is locked with a key at all of the time. Your pup won't be able to escape. S/he may go outside whenever s/he likes to. My twins would love to play fetch with your pup if it is possible. I will follow your instructions and expectations. It's my goal that your pup has a vacation here at my home while you are away on a vacation.

A typical day

Once you drop your pup off, I would take him/her out for a walk for the bonding purpose. We will either go around a block, for a mile, or two....depending on the pup's energy. There are a lot of trails here in the community and your pup would love it! Other than that, we would chill at home and let your pup to feel comfortable with us.
