Availability
I care for every dog like they're one of my own. My home isn't run on a strict schedule instead, dogs become part of our daily routine. We start our mornings by getting up and heading outside to play, and on weekends we spend lots of time outdoors enjoying the yard. During the week, I work from home, so the dogs hang out with me inside and get plenty of attention throughout the day. They have opportunities to go outside whenever they need to, and I make a point to get everyone out at least once every hour. My goal is to provide a relaxed, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable, safe, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up to be safe, structured, and comfortable for dogs of different temperaments. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I closely supervise all interactions and can separate or crate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays safe. I follow each dog’s routine carefully and pay attention to behavior and body language to prevent issues before they start. Owners can expect regular updates and a calm, well managed environment.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet's personality, daily routine, any medications, allergies, fears, or special needs so I can provide the best care possible. I also appreciate knowing if your dog has any behaviors I should be aware of, such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, or escape tendencies.
A typical day
A typical day depends on the dog's personality and energy level, but all of my guest pups are treated like part of the family. We start the day with a potty break and some time outside. Dogs who enjoy playing can run around the yard, play fetch, or play with my dogs if they're a good match. During the week, I work from home, so they get plenty of companionship and can relax inside with me between outdoor breaks. On weekends, we spend even more time outside enjoying the fresh air. There are lots of opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, naps, cuddles, and just hanging out. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and at home while they're here.

Pet care experience
I have years of hands-on experience caring for children and managing a busy household, which has given me strong skills in supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, safe environment skills that translate directly to dog care. I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and behaviors, including high-energy dogs and those who need extra patience or consistency. In my home, dogs are never left unsupervised for long periods. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to behavior and body language to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure, especially in a new environment, and I work to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have experience handling multiple responsibilities at once, which means your dog will be cared for in a structured, attentive environment not a chaotic or unpredictable one. Safety, supervision, and communication with owners are always my top priorities.
