Mely’s doggie daycare and boarding

Pet care experience

‼️I specialize in anxiety issues‼️I also specialize in “troubled” animals that other sitters would refuse to care for! This is my full time career! Coming from 25 years in the medical field, I will provide the best care for your fur babies as if they are in their own home! I have experience with exotic animals as well. I am flexible with your schedule. Highly experienced, consistent with their schedule, and reliable. I will maintain their well-being and their security while in my care. BUT, most of ALL, I have genuine LOVE and compassion for animals! If you have any special needs animals, I'm comfortable with that also. I’m trained in animal emergencies and cpr! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Leaving our pup for the first time was really hard, especially for the kids. But Melissa was very patient with our nervousness, sending pics and updates daily to make the kids feel better! We are so thankful!!

Stevie and Kodi enjoyed staying with Melissa and sent me updates during the stay. Melissa was easy to work with on drop off and pick up.

We are extremely satisfied with Prissy's time with Melissa. This was our first time boarding her and Melissa took very good care of our Prissy. Due to auto problem, we were very late dropping off Prissy. Melissa did not hesitate to work with us to resolve the issue. We will definitely use Melissa's caring service in the future.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Are they good around other dogs or do they prefer to be alone? Do they have anxiety or separation issues? Can they eat with other dogs or do they have food aggression? All of these things are easily dealt with for me but, I need to know ahead of time.

A typical day

I don’t watch tv, I enjoy interacting with them and playing fetch the ball, frisbee, etc. Depending on my schedule for that day we may have some car rides!
