Pet care experience

All aboard the snuggle bus!

I’ve been a pet owner since 1989 and have worked at high end cage free daycare facilities in California! I am well versed in doggy body language, helping with problematic behaviors, and caring for special needs and senior dogs.

Melissa is a thoughtful and kind dog lover who understands how to care for the bigs and the littles. She’s used to caring for dogs who might have challenges like being hard of hearing or requiring medications. I would trust Melissa with overnight care and daily walks!

Melissa is an extremely responsible, caring and attentive individual. She is a “Dog-Mom” and loves all pets as if they would be their own. She takes pride in being on-time and organized. Melissa has on several occasions watched my own dogs and is always attentive to their needs and sensitive dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend Melissa for any pet care needs.
