Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the breed, age, weight, temperament and what their typical day exists of. I will always want to have a meet and greet, including Layla, to connect and make sure it's a good fit.

A typical day

I work full time from home Monday - Friday 8-5. Layla and I get up in the morning and take our walk and then eat. Most days, Layla and I are out multiple times a day for potty breaks and she really enjoys laying on the lounge chair on the lani looking for lizards. After work, we have more outside and play time before we snuggle in bed.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner for over 20 years and truly love caring for animals. I currently have a small teddy bear breed, Layla (or Layla Marie when she's being a little spicy) so I'm very familiar with daily routines, walks, feeding schedules and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. I also work full time from home Monday - Friday which means I am able to be present with your pet throughout the day, provide consistent attention and maintain a steady routine - something I know is especially important for dogs when they are in a new environment. I also have experience caring for a diabetic dog including administering insulin injections so I am comfortable supporting pets that may need extra attention or medical care. I treat every dog like my own - with love and snuggles and lots of care - and focus on creating a safe, loving and stress free environment while keeping you updated so you always have peace of mind.

Melissa is one of my favorite dog mom friends. I've known her for about ten years and she's always had a dog in her life. She helped me pick out my dog 8 years ago and she helps me with my dog whenever I need help. She loves taking her dog to the lake to swim or to the dog park to run and enjoys cuddling with them at the end of a long day. She loves dogs and I would trust her anytime with my dog and my house.
