Your pet will get all the love

Promo code MELISM20365 ($20 off) I love all pets!!! I had dogs, cats, rabbits, and many more pets throughout my life. Currently, I have a medium sized, female Siberian Husky-mix that loves to play with other dogs and is super friendly to cats. My dog is medium size and does well with both- large or small dogs. My dog is fixed, but I don’t mind if your dog isn’t. I have a big apartment with a balcony and walk the dogs every 3 hours. I only take one pet at a time. This way you can be assured, that your pet will get all the attention and you won’t have to worry that your pet won’t get along with other pets- just my dog. For new clients, I’d like for our pets to meet in advance, but even on the same day is fine. If they don’t get along for some reason (which is unlikely), then I’ll cancel free of charge for you. I work remotely and have plenty of time to look after our pets. Let me know if your pet has extra needs so I can accommodate.

Doggy Day Care • mag 25, 2026

Melissa took really good care of Rex for daycare and kept me updated multiple times throughout the day. Rex had a blast with her and his new furry friend ☺️

Melissa was absolutely incredible, she looked after my boy Angelo phenomenally, he had such an amazing time with her husky and they got along so amazing, she was extremely communicative and sent photos the entire time. Couldn’t thank her enough for the love and care she gave my baby

This was my first Rover boarding experience and I’m so grateful to have found Melissa so close to my home! My Bobbi girl is very active and needs a lottt of attention. Melissa was so great about taking her on adventures, giving her lots of love, and keeping me updated with photos and videos. I can tell Bobbi was so happy. I’m sooo appreciative 💕

Melissa provided the perfect home for my pup. It was a 10/10 experience! She is so kind and warm and so was her sweet dog, who was the perfect companion for my Samoyed. Thank you Melissa!

Melissa took care of our cat when we were away. She and Kimchi bonded right away and she took good care of her, we would definitely book with Melissa again next time.
