Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if your dogs are fully potty trained and get along with younger kids and other dogs. I will not accept any dogs that show any type of aggression or male dogs who are un-neutered and mark their territory. I do let all fur pups roam freely day and night so making sure they are 100% potty trained is a must. I will also need to know if your dog has ever chewed on any furniture. Any additional information or details will be much appreciated.

A typical day

Walks to our neighborhood park, daily potty breaks, and a few treats here and there. We love to play catch with the ball and socialize with other dogs.

Pet care experience

*** Re-activated my account as I took a break from dog sitting. I’m happy to be back because I missed doing it💜*** I absolutely love dogs. Anytime I see dogs in public I stop to interact with them! I love all kinds and any kinds of dogs. I grew up with taking care of animals and ever since then I've always had more than one pet to take care of. I am open to do medication for dogs since I have experience with giving shots for a diabetic dog. I am open to dog walking, teaching tricks, and training.

Melissa, I can’t thank you enough for coming through last minute to take my pup Obi in and watch her while I was away. You welcomed her into your family, played with her, snuggled with her, showered her with so much love. I really enjoyed getting the daily videos and pictures you shared with me. Obi is going to have some withdrawals after leaving your home. This just means she’ll have to come back again 😊🤗. Thank you again!

Melissa was super friendly, very accommodating with short notice, and provided excellence room and board to my two dogs. Not only was great communication provided but I recieved updates and pictures, which definitely made me feel how much she cared for my dogs. Highly recommend.
