Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

It would be important to know ahead of time that they get along well with other people, dogs and cats. Also making sure everyone is covered for flea and tick prevention to ensure everyone is protected from such.

A typical day

Playing fetch, frisbee and running around the yard together. We primarily stay in our fenced yard as it is like our own park space. We will only go for walks if the owner requests or if I ask first.

Pet care experience

*We have a complete 6-foot privacy fenced yard * I also do and have done long term boarding. I have had dogs and kitties since I was a little girl. Love, love, love! Nothing feels more natural than to be around dogs, puppies and kitties. In our family they are family and that goes for any and all including yours. I have worked with training, administering medicine and clipping nails through the years as well as going for walks with the dogs I as well as my family, are articulate, caring, loving people and astute to any needs or care the dog or puppy needs. We have been at our current address for over twenty years. We live by a park and we're are located in the center of our neighborhood, so we are not next to any busy streets making it a perfect place for dog walking. I do this full time, so the dogs are my focus. I love and enjoy caring for them and making sure they have everything they need and are comfortable. The same I would like if we took our pups or kitty to someone for watching.. We would love to be the care you need for your puppy or kitty while you are away and know they are in good caring hands. I have been doing this for 6 1/2 years full time. I am dedicated to my work of taking care of and looking after people's pets to ensure peace of mind while you are away. I follow the routine and typical schedule that you do at home as closely as possible. For instance, their food measurements and eating times through the day, any meds needed, allowed dog treats, playtime and exercise as well as rest time etc.
