Lifetime animal lover

Pet care experience

I have grown up with pets almost my whole life. I’ve had everything from rats and guinea pigs, to an iguana, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. Needless to say, my family and I loves animals. They are truly part of our family. I think of all the pets I have had and been around, dogs are my favorite because of the affection they give back. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and breeds. My husband and I have had a yellow Lab/German Shepard mix, Husky, and Staffordshire Terrier/Chow mix. Other family members have/had a Pomeranian, black Lab, Great Danes, Australian Cattle Dog, Rottweiler, Shar-Pei, and who could forget the mutts. Overall, I know my experience and love of animals can help me to care for your animals just as I have done with mine over the years. Our last dog passed away not long ago at the age of 14 1/2. She was more than a best friend and member of our family. While we aren’t quiet ready to get another dog, I am looking to share my love for animals with your pets. They have a special way of mending our hearts. I would be honored to have the privilege of caring for your pets and know I would love them as my own.

This was our second time leaving our dog Lynx with Melissa and her family and once again it was awesome! She is super nice and we feel really comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent us pictures and an update while we were gone and he loved his stay. We highly recommend her. Thanks again Melissa!

My dogs love going to Melissa’s house! They’re always eager to go in. Melissa keeps us very updated with pictures and communicates the whole time. She even went above and beyond when my dog had special medical needs. Highly recommend her. I trust my dogs are in good hands with her.

Melissa was extremely welcoming and attentive to our dog, Emma. She took Emma on daily walks and sent us status updates throughout our week away. We could tell Emma felt comfortable and at home her entire stay. I would highly recommend Melissa for your pet sitting needs, and we plan to use her again in the future!
