Safety, trust & environment

I have always been so protective of my dogs. You do not have to worry about your dog getting into trouble or eating anything left on the floor. No human food for dogs. Dogs will be leashed for walks or let out in the gated community dog park per your request. Please note, I only accept “house sitting” clients on a case to case basis. My 2 dogs will also need to join me if I am house sitting. Please reach out and we can discuss the details of your request to see if I am able to accommodate your needs. Thank you!

Melissa was a great communicator. I felt at ease with daily pics/videos of Ozzy having fun while I was away for the week. I will definitely use her again

Melissa made our puppy feel like she was at her second home. She was so responsive and constantly kept us updated with photos and videos. I highly recommend.

Fabulous once again. Can’t tell you how good it feels to know I can trust someone with my fur baby.

I can’t tell you how phenomenal Melissa was. She made the whole process easy for me, I was very nervous as I had never left my fur baby before she took the anxiety away and took amazing care of my Buzzy. I’ve already booked with her going forward.
