Animal lover!!!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melissa. I have over 20 years experience caring for pets including animals with special needs. I have always had a passion for caregiving. I have a 6 year old shorkie named Sophie and a 6 month old Chorkie named Jasmine. My son Jackson is 10 years old. Jackson enjoys it when we get to sit other animals! Jasmine loves to play and Sophie enjoys lounging around. They both get along well with other animals. I will make sure your pet(s) get the same love and attention that I give my own!

Vinnie has the best time when he stays with Melissa. Besides being able to play with pups his own size, he gets extra cuddles and positive vibes. We are always confident that Vinnie gets the best care.

Our dog loves staying with Melissa. We have complete trust in Melissa and would highly recommend her for pet sitting your fur baby!

Melissa was friendly, accommodating and communicative during our experience. We would definitely use her again. Our pups came back tired from all the play. . .

Melissa was amazing - it felt so good to know my dog was having a great time with all the snuggles while I was away!

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 potty breaks as often as needed! I would love to sit your young pups! I do ask that they are mostly potty trained.

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 can take walks around the neighborhood, play in the yard or just relax and hang out.

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. I'm available 7 days a week.
