Pet care experience

A loving home away from home!

I helped with greyhound rescue for over 15 years. I've been a dog owner (until recently) for over thirty years, often adopting difficult animals with emotional triggers and socialization issues. I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, as well as basic training experience from behavioral classes I've attended with my own pets. I'll provide personalized care, engaging playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I love dogs to my core!

Highly recommend Melissa and Roy! They took great care of Kobe and Muñeca while we were away and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. We’ll definitely book with them again!

Melissa and Roy took good care of my sweet girl! I loved receiving updates with pictures included. I’m glad to know that my sweet Korra felt safe and got all the belly rubs!

Melissa and Roy have cared for our Honey multiple times now and they are absolutely amazing every single time! They are patient, sweet, and caring with her and it’s clear they truly treat her like one of their own. They even took her to the farmers market, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch! We always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such loving hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind pet sitters!

Safety, trust & environment

I always take pets out with a leash and harness or collar. I have pet gates, several size crates, and a round, open pet playpen to provide different levels of access, if needed.

A typical day

This largely depends on the dog and their needs, but we can take walks, long or short, on our farm and the low-traffic roads around it. We can throw and chase fuzzy toys, give belly rubs, snuggle, enjoy appropriate training and treats...really whatever makes the pup happy.

Please let me know ahead of time of any special needs the dog might have. I like to take detailed notes on any medications that need administered, special eating restrictions, and training commands that need to be practiced.
