Experienced animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hablo español. I have taken care of dogs of every size since I was 8 years old. I enjoy going on walks, bathing, and accompanying any animal that needs to be taken care of. I had a pitbull, boxer, and American staff mix growing up Max, was my best friend, we did everything together up to his passing last September. He was 12 years old and needed a lot of care I bathed/ groomed him, give him his meds, took him to appointments, walks, and endless love. I also have experience with puppies as well. Besides taking care of my own pup, I am a dog sitter and cat sitter for my cousin's and family friends' pets for the past 5 years or so.

My dog was happy. She sent me pictures through out the day. She gave him her time and attention. I am quite satisfied with her service.

Mellisa took good care of my dog and made sure that he stayed out of any conflicts with the other dogs. She was attentive and made sure to not only communicate but also help make my dog feel comfortable and enjoy his stay.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

*** Please have your pet bathed and smelling pleasant before boarding at my home as I will make sure to return him back freshly bathed and groomed...if requested. - Please let me know about any important information on your animal beforehand.. any medical or behavioral issues. - I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, no worries if your pup needs a bit more care and attention.

A typical day

I would definitely keep your pup active, mentally and physically. Leaving pups alone or bored would result in them becoming depressed or aggressive, that is something I, of course, will do anything to avoid. With the huge park across from my house, I would love to spend a few hours with your pup at the park and then provide a relaxing but fun experience for them at home whether that be feeding them, bathing them, playing with them some more or simply cuddling with them after an active day.
