Pet care experience

I love dogs and want to love yours.

I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them.

This was Rowan’s second time staying with Melissa. She takes great care of him. He loves running in their yard and playing with their dogs. She keeps me updated on how he’s doing.

Melissa is awesome!!! She sends regular updates and photos of our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that our dog was happy, comfortable and well cared for the entire time.

Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.

Melissa is amazing. She is always so kind and flexible with me and my pups. I know they love going over to her house as they start whining excitedly as soon as we pull on to her street. The last facility we used my girl was petrified and did not want to go in, now she runs straight to Melissa's front door. They feel safe and I don't have to worry because I know they are in good hands.
