Looking for spectacular pet care?

Pet care experience

Need a superstar pet care provider? We’re here to help! Hi there! My name is Melissa and my wife’s name is Kelsi. We recently bought our first home in Bushnell and are working on our dream of farming and being self sustainable. Outside of working and house projects, we LOVE animals and being outdoors! We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, + 6 chickens of our own,. Finley is our older small boy, Rani is our yellow lab puppy, then we have Beans, our kitty. The Ladies (our flock) have varying personalities and are sure to give anyone a giggle! I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, always having a family dog, as well as caring for friends and client pets for over 16+ years now. Kelsi has had a pet since childhood and loves to care for pets of any kind :) We love pets of all shapes and sizes :) I also have experience administering eye drops and medications. I do not offer boarding quite yet, but I’m happy to have your pet visit for socializing and running around the property. We have 10 acres! During my visits/care, I will notify you of any questions, behaviors, packages, etc. and also send you pictures. I will let the dog out in your yard, or walk them, give them fresh water, feed them as directed, and play/give them pets. Please let me know if you’d like anything else while I visit your pets.

Melissa did great with our two Aussies Chip and Faith!! She took lots of pictures and messages with each visit, and spent lots of quality time with the dogs! She is very responsive, organized, and great with the dogs. I know Chip and Faith loved having Melissa take care of them. Thank you so much Melissa for taking such good care of our fur babies! We look forward to the next time you can walk and take care of them again :)

Safety, trust & environment

If I’m at your home, I will do my absolute best to ensure I keep your pets routine as similar to their usual routine. I will follow all instructions and be sure to ask questions if any arise. Drop in visits include pets being let out into their yard and dog walking includes an actual walk for the pet. Both visits include fresh water, treats (if permitted), pets, play time, and feedings (when applicable). Please let me know if your pet has any specific instructions to follow. If your pet is visiting our home, we have 10 acres of land and it’s all fenced in. However, when we are outside, our dogs stay close to us and we practice close distancing for safety. We would do the same for any guests.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

Before booking care for your pet, I just need to know any special restrictions or quirks of the pet to ensure their safety, as well as mine. Providing the best care possible is my #1 goal!

A typical day

Does your dog need a walk, some one on one time and human interaction, or play time while you're away? I can help! Fetch, Frisbee, relaxing walks, or tons of belly rubs! Quality interaction while their main human is away and lots of loving attention :) I always send pictures while caring for your pet as well. Minimum of 1-2 pictures per day!
