Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Melissa. My partner, Steven, and I are owned by a sweet border collie mix named Rowan, who joined our family this year. I, along with my partner, have been blessed with the opportunity of caring for the pets of others for 12 years now. We have experience with many different breeds, particularly specializing in the northern arctic breeds. I have also volunteered with a wolf sanctuary and many animal shelters in my youth. Dogs are my life and my passion. Every single creature that comes to us will be treated as if they were our own. Walks, hikes and play time await the lucky pup who happens to jump into our car. We have a very open schedule so we are free any time, day or night, to help with any needs your companion may have. We always bring fresh water and some travel bowls along with us. And plenty of toys just in case. Along with catering to the younger dogs, we also have experience with seniors. we are able to give medications and stay with them for as long as they need us. I take pride in the fact that once your pet is in our care, they will never be alone. And they will be safe. Is our team the perfect fit for your fur child? Contact us to find out!
Reviews
Thank you, Melissa, my babies love you.
We have had a few sitters in the past and Melissa is the absolute best experience we have ever had. I will honestly never use anyone else ever again. Not only did she send me pics every day, a couple of times a day, but she also texted me every day to let me know how my 4 dogs were doing. My dogs absolutely love her and she was so good with them. Anytime I ever texted with a question, she immediately answered me and was also available at the last min and was the only person that responded to me right away. For anyone that is looking for a responsible, loving, smart, caring person, then definitely use Melissa for your furbabies!
She came every day a d fed the cats ,she was reliable
Melissa is absolutely amazing. She is very caring and clearly an animal person. I never have a single worry when she is taking care of my pup.

Pups will follow as close of a daily schedule as they do at their own home. Plus a lot of play time out in the yard and inside with my own pup. On nice days, there is also the beach close to my home. Pups will be taken out multiple times a day for potty breaks and stick to their meal plans. No pup will ever be left alone on my watch.
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know if there is any animal aggression with a particular dog. I have had trouble handling dogs with this type of dilemma, and need to know before I take on a new dog. I cannot and will not be comfortable with animal aggression possibly around my own family members.
A typical day
Dogs will be taken on walks on trails, dog park areas and any places the client feels comfortable. I love to take dogs with me to dog friendly stores so that they may be socialized with other people and animals under my watchful eye. Many of these places are where I take my own dog.
