Pet care experience

I have been around dogs most of my life and have been dog sitting for a few years now! I love taking them on walks and caring for their needs!! I work from home and will be them for most of the day! I don't leave for more than 2 hours at a time. They are more than welcome to stay as long as needed and am very flexible with drop off and pick up times! I have a large fenced in backyard yard and toys to play with! I have a senior Chiweenie who gets along with almost every dog she meets!!

Melissa did a wonderful job caring for our dog Sadie! She made us feel very comfortable that she was in good hands! Every day she sent us multiple updates & pictures of her. She treated her like one of her own! Highly recommend Melissa!

This was Finn’s first stay with Ms. Melissa and she was amazing! Our big guy is quite a baby and she was so understanding. She gave frequent updates with pictures and videos. Made us feel so at ease while on our trip. We are so grateful for Melissa taking excellent care of our big baby:)
