Lots of experience with animals

Pet care experience

Your dogs will love being cared for by a family with so much pet experience, we have many rescued pets of our own, four rescue dogs Monkey, Tyco, Bear and Lisa they are all sizes and all so different in personally so we definitely know how special each pet is. We also have three 15 year old rescue cats Rebel, Puma and Panther as well as two horses, a turtle, a pig and chickens. We also take in rescue animals as fosters and find them homes when they are physically fit and emotionally healthy. If I'm watching your pets at your home you will come home to a happy pet and your home will be as you left it. We would love the opportunity to care for your pet in style. Baths and nail trims are available for before heading home after over night stays or day care for a small fee. your pets are sure to enjoy the social interaction and exercise we can offer. Special requests just ask, I have experience giving many diffrent kinds of pet medications and don't mind cleaning up after your pets, my number one goal is for your pet to be comfortable and cared for in your absence.

Melissa has a big heart for animals! Our cats did very well with her and her girls. We knew our cats were in good hands :) they got the love and care they needed while we were gone for a week. I loved getting the daily report on how of furr babies were doing and I liked getting photos of them as well ;) she went above and beyond for us and our babies!!! ❤️❤️❤️ We will most definitely be using Melissa again!!

I highly recommend Melissa for dog sitter. She take care of my furbabies when i went to the hospital to deliver my first born. I was hesitant at first because my dogs is always on leash and doesnt really socialize with other dogs, but with Melissa she manage to let my dogs walk and run around in her big backyard or let me say acres of backyard without any leash..I highly recommend her and use her again soon.. She is truly a animal whisper.. more power Melissa❤️❤️

Melissa watched my puppy for me. Fiona was clean and happy when I picked her up she even trimmed her nails for me, I could tell she was cared for well and I highly recommend her as a sitter.
