Pet care experience

Your pet will be loved and cared fo

I am a life long dog lover. I've had dogs since I was a little kid, and currently, 2 chiweenies at home. I have worked as a dog walker and a dog sitter in the past and I enjoy dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can provide a cozy home for your pet where they will get plenty of cuddles, scratches, and probably some silly songs made up for them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I require pets to be child, and dog friendly, since I have a 4 year old daughter, and 2 chiweenies at home. I also would not be a good fit for destructive pups (chewers and scratchers) unless they are kennel trained. I have a big fenced yard but a runner or escape artist would not be a good fit as one portion of my fence is shorter than the rest. Other than that, I can accommodate many pet needs. I have room for a kennel if needed, and a big bed for pets who prefer more cuddles at night. Please feel free to ask about anything else!

Melissa is the BEST!! She is kind, thoughtful and super responsive. My dogs love having her drop in while I’m at work. We are lucky to have her!

Melissa is fantastic! She's been helping us out on weekdays since I had a change in my schedule, and our dogs are so lucky to have her taking care of them.

Paul had a great time with Melissa, her daughter and her two dogs. He was very happy there. She took great care of him. Thanks, Melissa.

Melissa is very communicative & was very patient with me because I am unsure of my exact schedule and it’s required to adaptable & she was amazing. She came on time & Maggie got a nice walk and her food was given just as I’d asked. It would be awesome if I could use her for all the days I work but of course it’s not always doable but as long as she is available to come I will use her for by baby. Maggie is 100% like my child & id do anything for her. Thank you for the pictures!!!!

Melissa was absolutely amazing!! She always kept us updated. Max and Olive had the best time! She treated ours like they were her own! Definitely using again in the future! We had peace of mind being away knowing that our babies were in good hands!!
