FurBabies Are Family, Home Fulltime
Pet care experience
I am home full time . Conveniently and centrally located in Southwest Palm Bay near Bayside Lakes and Bayside High School. I am home all day and can give personalized care for your sweet furbaby as needed. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old and cats since I was 11 years old. Your furbabies will have a large fenced in yard to run around in, with shade from our Avacados and Mango trees to lay under. We also have a large screened in lanai/patio so they can layout and get a nice cross breeze or some sun. My 2 Maltese ages 11, are home with me and would love to have some company or some furbabies to play with. During all stages of my life from when I was a little girl, to when I was a teenager, when I was married, to when I had children of my own; we have always had furbabies. They are not animals, they are a part of our family. I love all types of animals especially dogs, cats and horses and have had one or more all of my life. My children are both older. My husband and I are now at a time in our life where we spend time with our furbabies and we would love to extend and treat your babies to lots of love, snuggles, exercise, fun, personalized, and restful care. Whatever your needs are for your furbaby we can accommodate, just let us know. Looking forward to working with you and your furbabies! ******Rates Vary On House Sitting Services, Depending On What Your Individual Needs Are And The Amount Of Time I Am Needed To Spend At Your House. Please Make Sure To Have All Of Your Pets Listed (Create An Individual Profile For All The Pets In Your Home) When Booking Services, So There Is No Need To Do Any Modifications. Thank You For Your Time And Consideration. I Look Forward To Working With You And Your Furbabies.******
Reviews
We recently left our girl Ginger with Melissa for 2 weeks. Melissa was phenomenal, providing regular updates and detailed summaries. Ginger immediately connected with her. Melissa is kind and patient and the whole family showered our Ginger with lots of love. Ginger is looking forward to her next stay.?
Melissa and her family were wonderful to my dogs while we were away! I have two senior doxies, one who has separation anxiety and the other who has to wear belly wraps and gets a little lost from time to time and she treated them as if they were her own! We were able to go out of town with no worries knowing they were in good hands!
Melissa was wonderful. She kept in touch on a regular basis and went above and beyond her responsibilities. We'll definitely use her again!
I would like to add to my earlier review that I would rate Melissa’s service at 5 stars out of 5 stars. She truly cares for for the animals in her charge.

I have a fenced yard with two loveable furbabies that can accommodate yours. If your furbabies need to be crated we can make arrangements for that as well. We want your furbabies to feel as comfortable as possible.
Home
Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know their personality. What do they enjoy doing? Do they have a favorite toy? Do they sleep with a certain blankie or pillow with your scent on it for comfort? Are they playful or snugglers? Are they allergic to any food or treats that I need to be aware of? What is their favorite food/treat? I would like to know are they neutered or spayed. Are they aggressive? What gets them to that point? Does your furbaby have any certain dislikes to particular breeds or to humans. I love all furbabies. I don't have any breed preferences. As a courtesy to everyone; all furbabies need to be up to date on shots and vaccinations so the other furbabies are not affected by any ailment/sickness. Also have to be on flea medication. No fleas allowed, as I do not need them being transmitted to my furbabies, or to any that I am watching. I won't be able to accommodate furbabies that dig or "shimmy" under fences as I have my own furbabies, and others to look after. An accident is understood, but if your furbaby tends to have more than one, or "marks", I won't be able to accommodate you. If your dog or puppy is not trained to go to the bathroom outside, additional charges will apply. Know that your furbaby will be spoiled and treated like royalty when they are in my care. They will be loved on and spoiled as much as you allow. We can stick to the schedule you set. Give us a chance to welcome your furbaby into our home.
A typical day
If they have toys will play with them, love to play catch/fetch. I live near Bayside Lakes and they have beautiful tree lined sidewalks that are just perfect for a walk and to get exercise. Can also give nice belly rubs, back rubs, head rubs or body massages. My dogs love them. Lots of snuggles and oh so much love.

Availability
I have never known what it is like to not have a furbaby in my house. My family and I follow a routine with our own furbabies. We can accommodate your routine or your furbabies will be on the same schedule as ours. Either way as long as the furbabies are having fun, being loved and snuggled on, and are taken care of.
