Reliable Care for Dogs/Cats/Ect...
Pet care experience
---> 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.
Reviews
This was our first time using Melissa but it won’t be our last. My dog had a fantastic time. He was well cared for. Melissa was very attentive and provided us with lots of pictures and updates. While it’s always sad not to take our dogs with us when we leave it’s so nice knowing they are being well cared for. This was a great experience for both my dog and for us.
My dog Duke stay with Melissa was great. She was very attentive and caring with Duke and his needs. I will definitely use her service again when I visit my family again.
Melissa has taken amazing care of our fur babies. We continue to send our pets to her. She is trustworthy and truly cares for our boys. She is very thorough and sends updates per request. I would highly recommend her for your fur babies.
There’s no wonder why she has the greatest reviews out there! She was so wonderful and accommodating. She was very attentive and was sure to keep me updated with cute pictures and stories! We can’t wait to see her again.

Information Melissa Missy F. would like to know about your pet
I would first like to know if your pet plays nicely with other pets. My house can accommodate separate quarters for your pet, if they're nervous around other animals, or if they ever need their own space. I'd never want your pet to feel uncomfortable. Safety is my first priority. I'm happy to feed your pet exactly as directed & I will gladly take note of anything you think I should know about your pet. I have a "New Dog-Client Q&A" to go over with every new client, on the phone, before taking in a new dog/client. I am NOT the dog-sitter who will take your pet out for a loooong, rugged, runs or rural hikes. I will happily walk your leashed pet, out n' about, for 1-4 blocks & then back to home-base. I usually go for walks twice p/day, in the morning & again early evening. Hydration & hot paw-pads are always a major concern in the hot weather. I am a petite lady, I'm not capable of withstanding the strength & weight of a large pet.
A typical day
Every 2-3 hours I will let your pup out to sniff around on our daily walks or they can roam freely in my large, securely gated, landscaped, back-yard. The pets I care for are NEVER left alone outside. Your pet will have lots of dog toys & sticks to fetch!! If preferred, I can also walk your 0-30 pound pup (on-leash) around my safe, peaceful neighborhood. If your dog is an elder, I have plenty of space to rest, relax and put those paws up. Please note: I can not accept young dogs over 30 ponds.
