Pet care experience

Animal lover!!!

Hello! My name is Melissa. I have over 20 years experience caring for pets including senior pups and pups with special needs. I have always had a passion for caregiving. I have a 7 month old Chihuahua named Josey a 3 year old Chorkie named Jasmine and a 2 year old mini poodle named Jolt. My son Jackson is 13 years old. Jackson enjoys when we get to sit other animals! All 3 of my pups adapt well to other animals. They love to play and they also enjoy relaxing. I will make sure your pet(s) get the same love and attention that I give my own!

Melissa is amazing!! She’s incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. She stayed on top of Tito’s multiple medications and made sure to send updates and pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. 😊 I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Melissa took great care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing in her fenced in yard. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive if I messaged her for updates.

I had a great experience with my dog sitter. Melissa was reliable, caring, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Melissa and will definitely use her again.

Melissa was great! She seemed to enjoy my pups which is always what I want. Logistically, she was a responsive communicator, sent me updates, and was very accommodating with my flexible needs. She was very easy to work with and I would definitely recommend her!

Schedule

My family and I have Staggered schedules so the pups are not home alone for too long. I leave for work later in the morning, I go home on my lunch hour so that they can have a potty break and I'm home to stay not too long after that. There are also days that I work from home. I'm available 7 days a week.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to be outside with the pups whether they're chasing each other or they're chasing me! I have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play! I welcome all animals on my furniture. I do my best to keep your dog on the same schedule that they are used to, a long with regular potty breaks! Serious booking only please. Thanks so much!
