Pet care experience

I have had multiple dogs in my life since I was a kid. I grew up with 2 dogs in the home and have had experience sitting for my siblings' dogs. When I finally bought a house 2 years ago, the first thing I did was go adopt my own puppy. Recently I fostered a couple dogs for a local rescue, so I am familiar with potty training and training of basic commands.

Melissa provided excellent care for my dogs while I was away. Her updates were reassuring, and her work-from-home setup likely made my pups feel right at home. Returning to happy dogs was the best confirmation of her exceptional service. Highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a crate if needed plus I have part of my home gated off in case there needs to be separation. I also have two spare bedrooms that can be used as safe spaces to reduce anxiety. My yard is not fenced (yet) but I have two long tie out leashes and never leave other dogs unattended outside. Having brought other animals into my home temporarily before, I understand the process of the pets meeting and getting to know each other and will take all precautions to avoid negative reactions.
