Stay at home mom and animal lover!!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Melissa and I'm a stay at home mom who enjoys pet sitting and animal rescue. I have two sons and my husband who help out with the pet sitting. My sons are 11 and 18 years old. I have been around animals all my life, so I have experience in different dog breeds and sizes. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years now. The animals we take into our home to watch are treated like one of our own. They are allowed to cuddle in bed and on the couch, we love to take lots of pictures with them and we give them lots of hugs and love. As I said I am a stay at home mom, so there are walks and lots of potty breaks. We have an outdoor kennel and a large fenced in area for the dogs to run and play. In warmer months we keep small kidie pools filled up for the dogs that enjoy the water along with some outdoor toys. We have 3 larger, indoor kennel we use for puppies to settle down in, feeding and at night time. We live in the country down a quiet gravel road. We love to take our dogs for walks to enjoy the peace and quiet. Meet and greets between dogs will be done down the road. Rescue dogs and bully breeds are all welcome. If you have a dog that is cat, dog or food aggressive please let me know ahead of time so proper set up for your dog is all ready to go before hand. Thanks!!

WOW what can I say, Melissa and her family were great with dogs. I was really worried at first leaving them since I am hardly ever away from them but after meeting Melissa, I felt really good about leaving them there. I will defiantly be using her again since my pets did so great there. If you're looking for a great place for your fur babies to go this is the place right here!!!!

Melissa was absolutely fabulous! My pup loved her family and they all loved this old dog up so much I think he actually missed them after he got home! We will definitely use her again!

She is the best! Treated our dog like her own. It has been quite warm but after talking to her and seeing her set up we knew our girl would be in great hands. So much fun getting pictures too.
