dogs are kids too ??
Pet care experience
My family (husband and step son) love animals! We have two rescue dogs- Kimba (8) and Chewy (2) and one rescue cat- Mittens (5). We are unsure what breeds Kimba and Chewy are mixed with but we love hearing people’s guesses. We spend our weekend making homemade dog snacks, walks, and boat rides. Our home is located on the Clintonriver and our yard is fenced in. We both work professional jobs but secretly want to be stay at home dog parents. We have the flexibility to check in your pet during the day. We are able to accommodate special needs or requests and will be sure to send many photos and/or videos of your child having a wonderful time away from their home. I work as a behavior analyst reducing significant challenging behaviors in children and adults with mental health concerns. I have extensive experience in addressing behavior problems in animals as well including elimination problems, crate training, barking, leash training and even toilet training cats! If your pet has trouble with any of these things please let me know and we can discuss what additional supports i can provide to ensure your pet has most enjoyable stay.
Reviews
Melissa is a kind and loving dog owner (of 2) who is capable of caring for your furry family member. She has cared for my two miniature dachshunds on multiple occasions without any concern for their health or wellbeing. Melissa takes her own dogs for walks and has a backyard to support any size or actively level your dog may require.
Melissa is a great dog sitter! The dogs always have plenty to keep them busy like walks, playing In the large fenced in back yard and plenty of chew toys. I would recommend her to any of my dog loving friends!
Melissa is a behavioral analyst by eduction. She puts that to great use when dealing with dogs. She has watched our German Shorthair Pointer on multiple occasions and has really improved his walkability and leash skills. The techniques she uses are lighthearted and keep the dogs calm while they learn. Her training techniques and love for all animals will make her an excellent dog walker/sitter.
Melissa has always been a dog lover! Growing up with her, she always had multiple dogs, which were all so incredibly loved! Melissa will be an excellent dog sitter/walker and you can be sure she will treat all dogs with love and compassion.
