Certified good time with a trainer!
We are not your average sitter! Parents who wish for their dogs to have fun in a safe and controlled way please read on! If your 4 legged friend stays with me, not only will they be treated like the family pack, we will be busy doing fun things. Don’t leave your dog somewhere locked up in a strangers house wondering when you will come back! They hate that! We can have field trips to different hiking locations/ parks around Lexington, lots of fun activities involving food (yum!) and you bet there will be an overload of pictures to share! Challenging dogs, active dogs, and everything in between are welcome! *Bathes with many shampoo options available as well as a blow dry. Fees apply **I offer free pick up and drop offs (although anyone is welcome to do so themselves) within 20 miles of Nicholasville** About this sitter: I have been working with dogs (and other animals) since 2011 in various capacities so your dog will be in well capable hands. The last 3 years I have been training dogs in California and have completed 2 prestigious courses for dog trainers. I have fostered many dogs from the animal shelter so I have learned how to help dogs smoothly adjust into new environments. My other favorite hobby aside from working with dogs are training with my own dogs, horseback riding, and hiking with friends and their pooches in large packs. I am happy to work with any training request while your pups is here if you so choose. Why I love dog sitting I love to give people piece of mind that their pups are accepted, well taken care of and thriving in an environment that is good for their dogs. In return, I get to meet new breeds and temperaments of dogs that will value my future career! A total win win situation. I also love an extra excuse to get out and explore new hiking trails! About my yard We have a large yard with the house situated in the middle. It is unfenced but no one goes off leash (long line) until there is a better understanding of the dog and their habits. There is a flowing creek and dam on the property as well as plenty of space to run around. Your dogs will never want to leave! My experience administering medication Yes, I have administered medications orally, and through injections.

I am only caring for pets in my home currently, but I will care for any guest with respect and also keep them entertained. I have all needed supplies but special bedding is allowed to bring with their stay.

Melissa took care of my cat for 11 days while i was out of town and she was responsive and timely as well. The cat was happy as a clam when i got her back. Would use Melissa's services again!
Melissa was amazing! She sent updates of my girls with photos of them playing! I forgot food and she had everything taken care of! My girls came home happy and exhausted!! I will definitetly use her again!!!


Melissa is a fantastic dog sitter and I would highly recommend her. She handled both of our dogs, neither of whom are easy dogs, with aplomb! Her house and surroundings are a dog paradise, and she kept them occupied and entertained for their entire stay. She kept us updated with photos of their activities and all of their new dog friends (this was especially reassuring given that one of our dogs sometimes struggles with dog aggression). We got away for a day and our dogs got to go to "dog adventure camp"! It was great for all of us!

Thank you Melissa after just losing Osa's sister I was apprehensive to go on vacation. I was so lucky to find Melissa she made Osa feel comfortable as well as me! I highly recommend Melissa as your dog sitter of choice!
Melissa has taken care of Hercules, our German Shepherd, for the past 5 1/2 years since he was a puppy. At 90 pounds with strong protective instincts, he can sometimes be a handful. Melissa has established a strong bond with Hercules and handles him exceptionally well. He loves her and is excited when she takes him on walks and hikes, plays with him and stays over when we are out of town. I trust Melissa like a member of the family. She cares deeply about animals and I know that Hercules is always in the best care with her. She also takes care of our house when she is here and can always be counted on. She is responsible and reliable. She is level-headed and does not get rattled in a crisis. I recommend Melissa highly as a pet sitter and house sitter - she is excellent!
