Dog Lover ready to care and play
Pet care experience
Ive lived with animals all my adult life. They are not just pets but family.I have had to entrust our fur babies to sitters and boarding during my military career of 24 years. I just retired recently and am wanting to pay it forward to families that want to travel, go TDY or away for work. I have no kids or job outside of the home. My partner is still Active duty so I truly understand the military life. We have 1 dog now. Our Chocolate Lab recently passed away at 16 years old. Buddy Holly is a 5 year old American Bull dog mix who loves to play frisbee and fetch. He is extremely well behaved and loves being social with other dogs and also grew up with cats. We would love to help you and your fur baby have a stress free time away from home.
Reviews
Melissa and her household were a great fit for our pup! She was also great about sending pics and updates while we were missing him! 5/5 would recommend and rebook!
Melissa did a great job taking care of Tyson. They treated him like he was part of their family. He was not stressed out when we picked him up. We will definitely use her again.
Melissa watched our 2 whippet girls for 2 nights and she treated them like family. Our doggos tend to get separation anxiety but they did really well with her. Their doggo Buddy is the absolute sweetest and our girls loved him. Thank you for taking such great care of them!
Melissa is amazing!

Availability
My day is mostly spent at home. I go out for short periods but normally not longer than 4 hours at a time. The dogs rule the house. We have a doggie door to allow full access to our large fenced yard. We can accommodate elderly dogs with front yard outings to avoid stairs. My day is divided by errands, house needs and fur baby entertainment.
