Pets are more than just pets.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs and other types of animals my entire life. Rescue is my top priority. My dogs are my family, all dogs should know that feeling. I have worked with trainers, rescues, pet store, as well as my own home. It's like 2nd nature for them to be around. I can offer treats and plenty of comfort and running space. They will not go without including love while you are out. Drop off time- 6am Pick up time- 8pm Due to several inconsiderate clients I have had to add a late fee for pick up time. There will be a 10$ charge for any dog picked up after 30 mins late. I'd prefer not to do this. And I will take circumstances in consideration.

Payton had a great time staying with Melissa. She came home happy and exhausted, I would recommend and would use Melissa again with no hesitation

Melissa was wonderful to work with. She was able to work with our drop-off/pick-up schedule and even made sure to take Tipsy for a walk before we picked her up. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know wether the pet is dog or food aggressive. I would like to know if the dog has a history of aggression. I also want to know if the pet is house and/or kennel trained. I need to know if the dog has any food allergies or sensitivity.

A typical day

I always take my dogs for walks. Although I have a back yard, I love to take them around the neighborhood. My spouse is a general manager at Petco, so they get new toys daily. I have lots of time with my pets. I feed only natural food and treats.
