Pet care experience

Treating your furbabies like family

I have been surrounded by animals since I was a child, and I truly love them. Caring for pets and giving them love is my passion. I got my first dog when I was 5 years old, and ever since then, animals have been an important part of my life.

I’m always so anxious dropping off Winston at any sitters house, but Melissa did a great job communicating with us. Winston came back perfectly fine. Happy as ever!

Guinness stayed with Melissa for over a week. She has a large fenced in backyard which allowed him to have ample playtime during the day. We appreciated that Melissa provided lots of pictures of Guinness during his stay.

Melissa did a great job of caring for my Treeing Walker Coonhound! She was very careful about taking her on walks as a true hound loves to try to slip her collar when outdoors to chase prey. But Melissa always controlled her.Lots of photos from her fenced in backyard playing with other dogs. All in all a very positive experience for my dog and me!!
