Pet care experience

Professional and Trustworthy

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and have a passion for all animals! I had my childhood dog, Bucko, for 15 years and now have a 4 year old beagle mix named Nala that I adopted at 8 weeks. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs of all personality types. I understand how crucial it is to feel confident in your pet sitters ability to care for your family member. I can assure you that your pet will be getting all the love, attention and best quality care with me!

Melissa was terrific! She sent photos and updates. The dogs were calm when we came home, so I know they were happy. I will use Melissa again.

So grateful for Melissa's kindness and expertise. We arrived home to find our pup Gidget to be happy and content. It's comforting to know that she was well taken care of in our absence.

Melissa was great! Thorough communication, daily updates and pictures. This was our first time using rover as boarding and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Dutch has a great time with Melissa and her dog Nala! He received plenty of attention and exercise. She is very responsive and updates you regularly with texts, photos, and videos. Dutch even wanted to take me on his walking route during his stay! I would highly recommend Melissa to care for your dog.
