Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

I do have a cranky old girl. She is a Jack Russel Terrier mix. If I hold her while she gets acclimated to a new dog in her space she is fine afterward.

A typical day

I LOVE playing with dogs. Fetch, or puzzle games to stimulate dogs mentally. I have a really great trail by my house to take walks

Melissa was great! I was in a pickle and needed someone to pick up my dog and watch him, while I was out of town. Melissa was so quick to say yes, and she drove out of her way to pick him up. Her communication was amazing. She sent pictures and gave updates. Will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future!
