I’ll take your buddy for a run!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! As a new Coloradan I’m awed by the outdoor opportunities here- I’d love to share them with your pet or watch your pet while you explore this glorious place. I’m adjacent to the east west trail and a near daily visitor to Glendale open space. I teach yoga part time so am very available to pamper your pet. They can expect lots of fun in our home with our puppy Hutch and my helpful respectful kids. Plenty of space for your dog to have fun in our home and plenty of people to give them love! Happy to send daily photos at your request. Look forward to meeting you and your dog! I can be very flexible around your needs. While your dog is here they will never be alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your buddies!

My husband and I love the care Melissa and her children provide for our dog, Bailey, but most importantly, Bailey loves them, too. Whenever we leave her with a sitter (including friends and family), when I arrive to pick her up, Bailey goes to the door and waits as if to say, "You are not leaving without me". The first time I went to pick up Bailey after she had been staying with Melissa and her family, Bailey greeted me, but then she left and went into another room. I was shocked, but it made me realize how comfortable Bailey was in their home. The children really engage with the dogs, and you can see that they have been taught how to respectfully treat animals. Melissa and family were also very mindful of the restrictions our vet has placed on Bailey's activities, and also keep her on her medication schedule. We are very happy with the care that Melissa and her family provide, and will continue to use them in the future!

Melissa was very accommodating and amazing! We feel very fortunate to have found her. She definitely treated our dog as her own and it was extra special to receive daily updates and pictures. We will use Melissa again for sure!!

What a great stay my dog had with Melissa! She loved playing with her new puppy and the extra love from her kids. Melissa took her for walks, runs or hikes (sometimes a run and a hike) everyday. She was a happy dog when I picked her up. Will definitely use her again!

Melissa is a very warm, caring and compassionate person. She takes very good care of her dog. Melissa is also very responsible and attentive. She is aware of pet needs and will provide your dog with a loving home while you are away. I would wholeheartedly have her watch my dog any day!
