Never met an animal I didn't love!

Pet care experience

Greetings! My name is Melissa and I LOVE animals. Not only do I, myself, have 3 cats and 2 dogs but I also have been volunteering with rescues and fostering animals continuously for the last 7 years. I believe that every animal should be treated with the utmost respect and loved like crazy. I'm 100% comfortable with any dog (or cat!) and would love to care for your pet. I'm also happy to send photos and videos of our adventures! I'm awesome, you're awesome, your dog (or cat!) is awesome, let's be awesome as a team! ~When I stay at your house:~ When you book overnights with me it includes two 30 minute drop-ins throughout the day, I do not charge extra. I will spend the entire night at your home with your pup(s). Puppies under 6 months are extra, since they can't be left alone for too long I will take them with me to work or to my house when not at yours. **Please note: any drop-ins after 12:00 noon on the last day of booking will be charged $15 per 30 minute visit.** I respect your home and will always vacuum and clean up before I leave. I prefer to sleep on the sofa and will never go in any rooms or even upstairs if I don't need to. I'm more than happy to bring your mail in daily and take out/bring in your trashcans. I am extremely comfortable medicating all animals, just no injections. I DO NOT charge extra for multiple pets. ~When your pup is at my house:~ **Pets picked up after 2 pm on the last day of booking will be subject to a half-day charge** Puppies under 6 months are extra, since they can't be left alone for too long I will take them with me to work. I have an extra large crate and an extra tall dog pen if you prefer me to crate your dog at night or they can sleep on the sofa, dog bed or people bed. I will take them to the dog park daily if you are ok with that, otherwise we will go on daily walks. When they are in the backyard I am always home and supervising. I can feed your dog any type of diet, including raw or supplements. I am extremely comfortable medicating all animals, just no injections. **I CAN ONLY TAKE ONE DOG AT A TIME FOR BOARDING AT MY HOUSE** Drop-Ins: 30 minutes I am happy to take your dog for a walk, feed them, play with them, whatever you require. If I see packages on your porch I will always bring them inside and let you know. I am extremely comfortable medicating all animals, just no injections. I can transport your dog anywhere within 10 miles (vet, daycare, etc) for a small fee plus drop-in rate. ***I WILL ALWAYS SEND PHOTOS AND UPDATES!*** We can even FaceTime! !!!PLEASE NOTE!!! I work from home Tues, Weds and Thurs so these are the only days I can provide mid-day DROP-INS. I work until 4:00 pm in the office (Boulder) on Monday and Friday only. I am available to stay in your home 7 days a week.

Melissa was amazing! She took such great care of my three babies. Melissa gave one of my dogs his medicine he needed, she txt me multiple times a day with pics so I would have updates and even got my mail. She loves dogs and stayed overnight with my babies. Melissa is a super sweet person and I would highly recommend her.

Melissa was so great with our pup while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous leaving him, but after getting the first update from her we new he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Melissa again! Thank you Melissa for taking such great care of our boy!
