Where Every Tail Wags with Love 🤍

Pet care experience

In seven years of dog care, I have cultivated a deep empathy for their needs, refined their training methods to perfection, and created a haven where tails wag with joy and hearts brim with love.

Melissa, I have watched her care for her two dogs as if they were actual human kids. She will always put her doggos before herself, she plays with them & rewards them with treats when deserved. She makes sure they are comfortable whether they are outside or inside. Their bowls are always full with clean, fresh water & they eat great! sometimes better than an actual human. I would 10000% recommend Melissa to take care of your pet. They are in great hands!

Melissa, is without a doubt a person with kindness and affection towards the furry ones, she takes care of them as if she were the leader of the pack. in a safe and comfortable place like your own home. I recommend that if you take some time for yourself, your pet is in very good hands.

To who this may concern, Melissa is by far one of the most exceptional people I know when it comes to caregiving for pets. A little about Melissa, she has two pets of her own who have been trained very well by her and are very obedient to her in her household. Thor, her eldest, was brought to her when she was young. She made a stupendous impression on how much time and dedication she gave Thor to ensure he was not only obedient but to be kind and gentle. Gigi, her youngest pup, unfortunately had a troubled past. She was left on the street alone to starve, Gigi was fortunate enough to be adopted by Melissa. Gigi is still a shy pup but you can see the smile and the joy that was brought out by Melissa. Melissa is kind hearted, loving and responsible when it comes to her furry babies. I have no doubt that she's an excellent pet caregiver.

Melissa is a very responsible and respect person! She’s also a very hard working and trustworthy person when it come to taking care of anyone’s pet. I wasn’t able to take care of my puppy by (walking her) due to not being home almost all day (working) I was able to get in contact with Melissa and I love how she was available to help me right away. when I first meet Melissa I love the vibes she was giving she was so positive and so Professional! I would 100% recommended getting in contact with Melissa if your not able to assist your doggies!

I'd love to engage them in interactive play sessions, take them for walks in the park, teach them new tricks, and maybe even set up obstacle courses for some extra fun and mental stimulation!
