San Diego dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Melissa. My boyfriend, Jeremiah, and I own a home in La Mesa and are parents to three beautiful pups. Lana is a 8 year old black lab/border collie mix. She loves to cuddle, sleep, and wrestle with her little brother. Rex is a 4 year old blue nosed sharpei/pit mix. He loves to play tug of war, fetch, swim in the pool, go on long walks, and wrestle with his big sister. Lucky, the most recent addition to our family, is a year and a half old Siberian Husky/Border Collie mix who loves to play chase, fetch, and splash in her kiddie pool. Jeremiah and I have both had dogs our entire lives. Before Lana, Rex, and Lucky we had Noel and Jack, who lived to be 14 and 19 years old! I work from home so the pups are rarely left on their own. We have a 3 bedroom home, complete with 8 dogs beds, a fenced yard and a pool for summertime puppy play. Lana, Rex, and Lucky are all very friendly and love other dogs. Because two of our babies are both over 90 lbs. we would prefer friendly large dogs. Our dogs are allowed up on the couch to cuddle, but sleep in their own custom twin size dog beds in our bedroom. Our dogs are spayed and neutered and are not crate trained. We would love to welcome your baby into our home.

I can’t wait for my dog to be able to go back to Melissa! She is great with dogs and has a great place for my dog. I wasn’t sure my dog would even want to leave!

Melissa took wonderful care of our dog! It was fun seeing updates throughout the visit and photos of Dumpling playing all day. We would love to use Melissa again!

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog friendly? Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they sleep in a bed or a crate at night? Is there a special diet or medications we should be aware of? Breed preferences: Labrador, golden retriever, border collie, etc. Any friendly dog is ok.

A typical day

We love to walk around our hilly neighborhood and go on hikes. We also play fetch and tug of war and in the summer our pups Rex and Lucky love to play in their pool. Lana is much more chill and prefers to lazily watch from the sidelines.
