Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Melissa and I am 40 years old. I've had my one dog for over 15 years, since she was a puppy. I also have a 5 year old pup, and a 6 various in year cats. I have always had animals in my life. Life would feel so empty without animals. I have experience with both large and small breeds; puppies and seniors. Also, with giving medication and ointments if needed. I am very flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal. I am a stay at home parent, but my daughter is in school all day. Your pet would get my full attention. I am also open (for the most part) if you need same day, last minute care. I love going on dog walks and am up to explore any trails that might be near your house as well. Your babies will be in great hands! Also want to add that I'm a huge advocate for pibbles (pitbulls). Please reach out to me if you're sick of "scared" sitters.
Reviews
Melissa did a great job and kept us informed throughout.
Melissa was incredible with my energetic pittie! She asked lots of great questions to really understand my dog’s needs and routine. And sent so many cute pics while I was away. Melissa has that special touch that made me so comfortable leaving for a weekend trip. 100% will book again!
Mel took great care of our pup and our bunnies while we were out of town. I really appreciated getting regular updates and pictures while I was gone. I would definitely have her back next time we go out of town.
Great overall experience, she is trustworthy and genuinely cares about animals, gives lots of updates and pictures/videos. Definitely reccomended.

I try my hardest to keep your fur babies on the same schedule that they are used to. Routine keeps them calm amd safe. I want them comfortable.
Home
Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog get along with other animals? How do they react with walkers coming into the house to pick them up? Do they have. Any triggers that I should avoid exposure?
A typical day
Hiking on the paths through the reserves, fetch, and any others of their favorite games. Don't forget about the cuddles! I also have an animal stroller for the smaller ones so they can still get out in the fresh air.
