Pet care experience

Ive cared for pets since I was 10 years old. Caring for not just my personal pets but as well as family and friends pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, and even other pets as well such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and even reptiles. I have a rescue dog, she is a 6 year old american bully mix, she is so loving and spends most of her time curled up next to my 11 year old autistic son. She loves car rides, going to the park or bike rides on the trails. I also have a male ferett who I swear acts just like a crazy cat. He loves jumping around doing his "war dance", he will steal our shoes and hide them under beds. As well as play hide and pounce with our dog. I am able to care for not just your furry animals but your reptile babies as well.

Melissa took amazing care of our dog and I will definitely be using her in the future. She kept us updated regularly with photos, updates and even videos. Our boy had a great time. He clearly played hard and was well loved.

Finn had the best time with Melissa and her family! It was his first time being boarded. I was worried he would have issues settling in. Boy was I wrong! Finn made himself right at home! Melissa kept me updated with pictures and messages everyday! I won’t leave him with anyone else now! So grateful I found Melissa and she was able to get Finn in. I was at ease knowing he was being well taken care of and most of all loved! Finn also looked and smelled great when I picked him up. I will absolutely be a repeat customer! Thank you SO much, Melissa! ♥️

Melissa was great with Nina, she sent updates and pictures. I would totally use her every time. She even bethed her and clipped her nails after asking permission. Nina was a happy pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large crate if your dog needs to be crated as well as leashes to go out for a walk or potty break. I also keep extra dog food and cat food here as I frequently care for my families pets when they’re in need. All of my doors have extra safety features on them as to ensure the safety of any animal. I do have children in the home but you can be assured that they are very well behaved eapecially around dogs that do not know them. They know not to just run up to any dog as well as not to be climbing on them or do anything that could provoke the pet. Children are normally upstairs in their rooms other than my youngest.
