Loving & Reliable Pet Care

I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a proud dog mom to three mini schnauzers, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—they’re family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies who need structure and play, and senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel loved, safe, and cared for at all times.

Melissa was wonderful with my Sadie! Took great care of her while I was gone for the weekend. My poor girl is scared of thunderstorms, and Melissa was there to comfort her when she needed it. Highly recommend this lovely lady!

My dogs absolutely love her! Even my “cranky” older dog has enjoyed Melissa’s walks and time together. Would definitely recommend and rebooked her services for my pups!

I have been Melissas dog groomer for 5 years. She is one of the kindest people I've ever met. She is a loving responsible pet owner. If you want the best care for your pet and your pet to receive another of love give her a call.

Melissa was awesome. She watched my dog Kane for a week and he loved her! I would definitely let her watch him again. Highly recommend her.

Schedule

Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and quality time with pets, so I can give them consistent attention and care. I truly enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I stick to each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.

Pets

A typical day

I like keeping dogs active and comfortable while they’re with me. We’ll go on walks, play fetch, get plenty of cuddle time, and enjoy lots of play breaks throughout the day. I also love letting dogs explore and sniff around on walks since it helps keep them happy and relaxed.

Please let me know if your pet has any routines, medications, allergies, fears, or behaviors I should know about before their stay. I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. It also helps to know what they enjoy, what they don’t like, and any commands they respond to.
