Please let me know if your dog has any behavior issues or health needs before hand so that I may provide the best care possible for him/her. I have no breed restrictions and work with all types of dogs.

A typical day

We enjoy walks and being outside. The dog park is only a few minutes of a drive away, if your okay with allowing rides in the car. We like to bring our dog Gunner to meet new friends and socialize so meet and greets are great to set up prior too. He's social and excited to meet new friends. If you think we would be a good fit, don't be afraid to reach out! We Love animals!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Mel and I am a marine mammal trainer/specialist who Loves working with all types of animals. I've been professionally working in the animal Care field for over 12 years, but have had dogs all my life. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs as well as working with all types of breeds. I am also willing to work with animals who might need a little extra attention. If there is something you would like me to help you specifically work on while you are away, let me know. I love doing things and going on adventures that include having the dogs around to have lots of fun. I'm so looking forward to working with you and your fur baby.

Mel has been the absolute best sitter I’ve ever had for my dog. He looks just as happy with Mel as he does with me and his dad. I felt so assured and happy that Leo had his own little vacation. My neighbors told me they played with him outside all day, which is his favorite. 10/10 will 100% book again!

We are first time dog owners and we both work night shift so we were very nervous about how we would make over night work. Melissa was able to stay over while we worked. She sent us so many updates and photos that it eased our anxiety. We will definitely be booking her again!
