My dogs, Misha and Boca, absolutely love Melissa. They get so excited every time they see her and she really goes above and beyond to make sure they’re taken care of and happy. She sends daily pictures and updates, so I don’t worry about them at all while I’m gone. She is our go-to dog sitter.

Melissa and my fur girl definitely have a special connection and she picks up on Misty’s subtle ways of letting you know she needs or wants something! I’d recommend Melissa for any day care opportunity you’re looking for to keep your fur babes safe and well monitored!

Melissa has a very caring way with my fur girl - she gets so excited when I pull up by her apartment! Make my heart feel good that she’s happy to see her! Thanks Melissa for your special care of her!

My fur girl really enjoys her time with Melissa — Melissa is in tune with her needs and can read her cues well. I’d recommend Melissa to anyone who has a fur baby who needs extra TLC!

I work from home so I can give your pup lots of time and attention. I have flexibility with scheduling and love having the company of little furry companions around all day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in yard and love neighborhood walks. I have a flexible schedule so I can pretty much keep any feeding/bathroom/walking schedule your pup is accustomed to. Just let me know their routine and we'll stick to it. I can also send frequent pictures and updates. I have room for a crate if needed but if your dog isn't crate trained/doesn't require one then my home is their home.

A typical day

I live within walking distance to three parks that are perfect for exercise and exploring. Just let me know what a typical day in the life of your pup is and I'll stick to their routine.

Melissa can host up to 2 pets per night
If your dog has any special needs I can accommodate for them. Please let me know about any medications, their normal routine, habits or anything I will need to know about your pup to make their stay enjoyable. Please only dogs who are truly fully house-trained. Please provide all waste bags (or diapers) that will be required for your pet during their stay. I am unable to accommodate aggressive dogs or dogs with severe separation anxiety. Although I work full-time from home and will generally be home with your pet the majority of the time, I am unable to accommodate for pets who cannot be left alone at all.
