I have a great yard to play in!

Pet care experience

I just love meeting new dogs and puppies! My family has always been a dog family and we have two dogs of our own that need extra special care due to their breed. I'm comfortable with dogs that have specific diets or need to take medicine. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and making sure they are loved and cared for. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work around your pup's needs. I'm happy to talk your dogs on walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and make sure they have fresh water and food or stop by your house and give them extra playtime, pets snuggles, snacks, and love while mom and dad are away. I will treat your home and pet like my own. Here's a few notes on the services I provide: Leashes and Saftey Please be advised, I cannot assure the safety of your pet with a retractable leash. But no worries if you have one, I will bring extra if needed! Your dog will get plenty of grain free treats during our time together. Please let me know if your pup has any dietary restrictions. Doggie Day Care Doggie daycare includes pick up and drop off within the serviceable area with the earliest pick up at 6:00 AM the latest drop off time at 10:00 PM. Earlier or later drop-offs incur an additional $10 fee. Dogs should be either crate trained or comfortable in a gated off area. We have lots of fun in the yard and around the house. Occasionally, it's necessary to separate the dogs for either naps or breaks from playing with each other. House Sitting I am available for housesits and can stay through the late evening and arrive again in the morning but I am unable to sleepover.

Booker LOVES going over to stay with Melissa! He gets so excited when he sees her car pull up. She always provides pictures and updates and is even trying to help with his potty training and some “puppy behavior.” I would definitely recommend Melissa if your pup needs a sitter!

Melissa is great!! Booker has lots of energy but she is very patient and he loves going over to play at her house! It’s nice to know our furbaby is in good hands when we’re not around!

Melissa was great! Very accommodating, communicative, and went beyond the services that I paid for, making sure my puppy had a great time. Highly recommended!
