Melissa took the most amazing care of my pup! She sent regular updates and he had a blast sitting on her front porch and getting cuddles. I would definitely book again!

Melissa has a large yard and her own pup to keep yours company. The daily photos made me feel at ease that my dog was in good hands. Thanks Melissa!

Melissa was amazing and has a great yard for the dogs to run around in. She sent pictures everyday and regular updates. We loved her and would use her again for sure

Melissa was fantastic with our very active 1 year old pup. She allowed us to add an additional night at the last minute due to a travel issue and was great at responding to messages promptly. Her dog is so sweet, and she is clearly a dog person. She sent photos and kept us updated. We highly recommend!

Melissa was so good with Blue. He played well with Hudson and she sends lots of photos and updates. Her yard is the best we have ever experienced. Both her front and backyard are fully fenced with lots of shade and room to run and play. I will definitely be leaving Blue with Melissa and Hudson again.

Melissa took excellent care of my dog! She sent lots of updates and was very considerate. My dog clearly enjoyed playing with her dog, all the toys, and the spacious fenced in yard. He slept like a baby after I picked him up. Highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!

My Goldendoodle would love to romp with other dogs in our enclosed back yard. We welcome friends for play! Also have plenty of space indoors for lounging and napping.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in my home with a loving and calm environment, with the ability to exercise in a safe enclosed back yard. I treat all dogs like I do my own with plenty of attention and loving care.

Pets

A typical day

I'm very interactive with my two dogs. I throw the ball to them in my back yard, give them lots of hugs and attention, provide the utmost in care that I can possibly provide. I have a home that I keep very cool and many places for your dog to lounge including a very big Orvis bed that has a tempurpedic mattress. I cook for my dogs or prepare their meals individually with the best nutrients. Most of all I love all dogs and I think they would enjoy spending time with me and my two dogs at our home.

Just let me know any special needs that your dog may have. I can be very accommodating as I've kept senior dogs who have mobility issues and are a little anti-social and have certain eating habits. I can't imagine any situation that I wouldn't be able to handle but would like to know ahead of time.
