Pet care experience
I have loved and lived with rescue pets my whole life. Dogs are pretty much my everything....okay, the kids too :) After working in offices my whole life, I want to embrace doing what brings me the most joy and craft my whole world around these little guys/gals. I have successfully trained and rehabilitated several of my own rescues, and believe these little babies have so much love and light to share. There are no bad dogs! There are exited dogs, and scared dogs, and happy dogs, and sometimes misunderstood dogs and I love them all. I am a stay at home mom with very flexible hours and availability living with my family right in Gardner MA in a beautiful neighborhood that loves pets. I understand beyond a shadow of a doubt what a pet means to their human, as my dogs are my world. Let me help you with your best pal! I can provide references as needed! 10 MILE RADIUS OR LESS: 30 MIN DROP IN RATES INCLUDING 20 MINUTE WALKS ARE $35. If you are interested in a drop-in without a walk it will be $25, which will include potty breaks, playing/snuggle time and food and water. BETTER RATES AVAILABLE FOR REGULAR BOOKINGS, PLEASE INQUIRE!

Absolutely the best!!!!…. My girls were more then taken care of …. She worked on behavioral issues. … and if anything improve my girls, I will definitely be booking her very soon in the future
Misty was amazing and did a great job with our two dogs! She took amazing care of them and was even flexible at the last minute so we could stay an extra night on vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we knew our pups were in good hands. She was very reliable and always on time and made sure she had all the instructions needed ahead of time. Highly recommended and we will be using Misty again in the future!
We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our cats than Melissa (Misty) She was fantastic! She made sure she had all the instructions down. She was prompt, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. She sent us pictures of the cats when she was there to check/play with them. They seemed to really take to her. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!
Melissas love for dogs is beyond comforting when your fur babies are in her hands. She'll send pictures, updates and is respectful and punctual. I highly recommend using Melissa for walks/sitting!

I am familiar with care for all types of dogs, cats and even lizards! I have a fully fenced in yard for local families that don't have their own, so your dogs can get plenty of exercise! For those that choose to go away and opt for drop-in visits, we can make one of those visits a trip to my home for extra time playing at no extra charge!

A typical day
I live in a wonderful tree lined developed neighborhood with trails a few steps away! No cars to worry about, and lots of friendly people to sniff. I can either transport them here to this neighborhood where they can play in my fully fenced-in tree filled backyard, or we can walk in your local neighborhood. We can discuss logistics at booking!

I am currently all remote so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am currently accepting clients within a 10 mile radius to offer the most flexibility.
