I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination.

About Melissa S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.
Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
It's always important to let me know ahead of time any special needs, behaviors or concerns you may have in the time I will spend with your pet. I love to do meet and greets with both you and your pets ahead of your first booking, so I can ensure top quality care.
A typical day
In working with and loving your animals my goal is to exercise both their body and mind to keep them happy and busy in your absence. Activities can range from long walks with speed, to slow walks just sniffing. Additionally I will often play fun brain games with them to challenge their thinking adding to the fun and excitement of our time spent together.

Quality love, care and passion!
Pet care experience
Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority!

Reviews
Melissa has been helping me on special dog training . Cases. Watching her run her canine for search and rescue is pretty awesome. Somebody that enjoys working with horses/dogs is Melissa .
Melissa truly cares for your animals as if they were her own. Her knowledge and experience with animal behavior and training shows how much she is willing to prioritize safety and wellbeing while caring for pets. She gets to know their personalities and provides fun updates so you can feel like you're with your furry family even while you're away.
