Dog Lover with a Fenced Yard!
Pet care experience
*To all of my former clients, I am currently away from Rover as I had a baby at the end of July. Please keep in touch in the future, but for now I am unavailable due to needing to focus on my family.* I have years of experience with caring for dogs both at my home and in the dogs' homes. For about 2 years, I have been walking dogs as a side job and my customers are very satisfied with the service I provide. Now that I have a house with a fenced yard, I am ready to open my services to boarding! In 2017, my husband and I rescued a puppy, Charlie, who is dog-friendly and would love a buddy to play with for a weekend or longer! Please keep in mind that my dog is extremely playful and is still going through the puppy phase of his life. If your dog is older or does not appreciate play, this may not be the right fit. Charlie is submissive and plays very gently, even with smaller dogs, BUT he will want to play until the sun goes down. I am a therapist and see clients in the evenings, during which my dog-loving husband, Andy, would be at home to help care for your pup. For boardings at our home, your dog will have at least one person home with him or her almost all day, every day. I am very reliable and will do all I can to ensure that your dog receives the attention and care that he or she deserves. I can't wait to meet your pup!

Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have allergies? What times and how much does he or she eat? How often would you like us to take walks versus going out in the yard? I would like to know if your dog gets along with other dogs if you are interested in boarding with me because I have a very playful 1-year-old dog. I love all dogs, but especially larger breeds. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages!
A typical day
I love exploring the neighborhood while walking dogs! I am also training for a marathon and can take your dog on a short run if that is something you would like me to do :) My dog, Charlie, will engage your dog in play and is super friendly. He has never met a dog he doesn't like! We will play, cuddle, walk, and hang out as much as possible.
