Home away from home 🏡 🐾
Pet care experience
My name is Melissa and I am offering care for your pet in our home. As a pet owner myself, I understand how hard it can be finding care when you go away. We have an English Bulldog that is very friendly but we ask that your pet is comfortable around others. I realize it will take time for them to warm up and I will work to facilitate a comfortable, stress-free environment. I will text pics so you have a worry-free getaway knowing your loved one is in good hands. Please provide their leash for walks and their own food so they can stick with what they know and like.
Reviews
Melissa is the best! She is great with communication and giving up updates about our fur baby. She is very warm and welcoming and our fur baby loves her and her family. She makes his stay super fun and he excited to go back to meet Melissa. Travel for our family is more fun and stress free knowing Our fur baby is in safe hands! Highly recommend Melissa.
Melissa was the best! She took incredible care of our little Maggie. Yesterday was her first day home with us and I sensed she missed Melissa. I will use her again and I cannot recommend her more highly
We are so grateful to have found Melissa. She cares for our mini labradoodle as if she was her own and we could not be more at ease. Knowing that she goes out of her way to keep us updated with lots of photos is truly reassuring.
So caring and loving toward my Gryff. Thanks for being so understanding when Gryffen was sick. Greatly appreciated!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard and live in a neighborhood with ample sidewalks and paths. Your pets are allowed on the furniture or if you do not allow this at home, please let me know and I will work to enforce the same behavior. I have a large, soft crate that does not close so if your dog likes to den, they're welcome to use it.

I care for animals deeply and a bad personal experience is why I do this. My goal is for this to be your pets home away from home. A fun, safe place when pet parents have somewhere to go. Thank you for trusting me. ❤️
A typical day
I have an English bulldog- a breed that tends to sleep a lot so I will gauge your dogs interests and follow their lead. We have a large back yard which is great for high energy dogs. We have parks and paths and can go for walks or if they're like mine and prefer to snooze, they can do that too.
