Availability

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.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs such as medication, or diet restrictions. I want to make sure that they are safe and comfortable while staying with me.

I enjoy making sure your dog is stimulated both physically and mentally. We have a huge yard to play in. They can chase the ball or just relax, snuggle and hang out.

Pet care experience

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.
