Pet love & endless fun guaranteed

Pet care experience

I grew up around animals (dogs, cats, turtles, baby chickens, birds, and fish). I have taken care of dogs and cats of different kinds for several years for neighbors, family and friends. I have a friendly doodle of my own named Simba.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard to offer much needed outdoor playtime and exercise for your pup (always monitored of course). Simba and I love to go on walks throughout the day - there's nothing like a good afternoon stroll in the neighborhood! I can keep your dog crated for safety, if required.

Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what special care or needs your pup has. I am very accommodating and will try my best to ensure all requests are taken care of, if informed in advance. Thanks!

A typical day

I believe all dogs, like humans, need mental and physical stimulation. Just as I do with Simba (my pup), I will ensure your dog has at least 20min of obedience training reinforcement (along with any other tricks you've taught them), fun time with puzzles, and outdoor activity in my yard.
