---> Sorry, I can NOT accept most young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30pounds. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- Hello~ My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You & your pet can book me for a caring visit to your home, or an extended stay at my house. It's last minute ... ? No problem! I can also provide - pet transportation!! I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when you can't leave your pet in the hotel room alone. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds under 30 pounds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if you're a new client. I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is VERY spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a VERY large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside! Allow me to love & care for your cherished pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any frisky, playful pet over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance.
