Pet care experience
Your pup's new favorite human
Hi there! I'm Melissa, a Colorado based dog lover with a soft spot for big personalities (mine included). I share my home with Shadow, my white Husky, who has taught me everything about patience, energy management, and the art of a truly dramatic sigh. If your dog has opinions, zoomies, or a favorite toy they refuse to share, we will get along great. I have spent years watching and caring for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, so I know that every animal has their own quirks, routines, and love language. Some want a calm cuddle buddy. Some want a full-on adventure. I show up ready for either, with plenty of treats, patience, and genuinely too much enthusiasm for a game of fetch. I offer dog walking, pet boarding, house sitting, and drop in visits or daycare, so whatever your pet needs while you are away, I have a way to help. Whether it is a quick midday walk, a weekend stay at my place, or someone camped out on your couch keeping your pet company, you can count on me to treat your fur baby like part of my own pack. Booking a sitter can feel nerve wracking, especially the first time. My goal is to make it easy: clear communication, photo updates so you never have to wonder how things are going, and a genuine love for animals that your pet will pick up on immediately. Let's set up a meet and greet so Shadow and I can meet your best friend!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available weekdays after 8:30am, and anytime on weekends, for walks, drop in visits, daycare, or boarding. If your schedule shifts last minute, just let me know, I'm flexible and happy to work around you.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a fully fenced yard, so your dog gets plenty of safe space to run and sniff to their heart's content. I also have one friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends. If your dog does best with a crate, I'm happy to use one, whatever keeps them comfortable is what we'll do.
