Got a doggo? I'm your sitter!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I've been taking care of our family dog Tasha the toy poodle since 2008. I was the one to teach her all the tricks she knows (sit, stay, high five, lay down, roll over)! In 2020, my fiancé and I got our first dog, a mini labradoodle named Callie and been reliving the puppy years once again! She currently knows the basic commands as well as playing hide and seek with a treat, it's definitely a great way to work on mental exercise which is just as important as the physical exercise. We also have a large backyard where Callie plays fetch ALL day long if she's allowed.
Reviews
Thank you Melissa. This was Audrey's first sleep over. You reassured me through the day and evening she was okay. Thank you again for making sure Audrey is comfortable and taking care for! 😊

Melissa thank you so much for your patience and attentiveness with Audrey. Thank you for all the detailed information of her activities and pictures during her stay! Your awesome!

Highly recommend! Melissa was great with Lexi! We received pictures & updates daily. Would definitely call Melissa again!

We have a large unfenced yard, but have a 100 ft lead that we can use for your fur baby to release some energy! Callie absolutely loves being back there so I'm sure they can release some energy together! If the weather is not cooperating, we have the first floor of our split level that is available for playtime or even nap time.

Information Melissa N. would like to know about your pet
Currently Callie takes a monthly pill for heartwarm and flea and tick. Have experience in administrating those by hiding in a treat or some Kong peanut butter!
A typical day
As mentioned previously, love making sure the fur babies get both mental and physical exercise. We have a few treat dispenser toys that Callie enjoys playing as well as hide and seek! Love going on long walks and the neighborhood I'm in has sidewalks so your dog will for sure be able to smell all the new smells! On occasion, there's a few small trails we take Callie on for a change of scenery. Playing fetch and tug a war is a must in this household, so if your dog is up for it, we will be playing it!
