Pet care experience

Furbaby Loving Family

I am very outdoorsy and adventurous person, and my family and I love to do activities such as skiing, mountain biking, hiking, snow shoeing, camping, and more. When we had our last dog, we would take her on all of our adventures with us and we'd always come back with a tired and happy pup! When I care for your dog, I'll make sure they are just as loved, exercised, and happy as if they were my own!

There is nothing better than being able to get away and know your dog is as loved and cared for as ever. Melissa and family are simply the best!

I really appreciated the pics and updates Melissa sent, and Maggie seemed happy and calm when I picked her up. Nice fenced back yard, too. I would definitely recommend Melissa and her family!

Melissa and her family are incredible - they are very comfortable around dogs and their love for animals is apparent. Our two pups loved being at their house and they came home relaxed and happy. We are looking forward to using Melissa again next time!

Fantastic family with a great set up for boarding. Very flexible and accommodating to our high energy pup with dietary concerns. Thank you!

Schedule

I work from home 2-3 days a week. I would love to be able to help you out with your pet on these days, as well as weekends. Being home allows me to have plenty of time to care for, walk, and give potty breaks to your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard with plenty of room to run around. I have experience giving medication to dogs. I love going for walks, loving on your pets, and getting all the wiggles and zoomies out.

A typical day

I love to give snacks and treats with doggie puzzles, go for walks around our neighborhood, and play games in our back yard. I live close to a park too!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. I have experience working with dogs who are not sociable while on the leash as well as dogs who are food and toy protective, just let me know before hand!
