Pet care experience

Home full time, large fenced yard

I am home full time, with a large fully fenced backyard. My house is set up for dogs of all sizes and they get full range of the house. My schedule is extremely flexible so anytime you need to drop off and pick up, I can do. I send daily updates and pictures to help ease your mind while you are away. I have grown up taking care of many different kinds of animals. I have worked with all different breeds and dogs with behavior issues. I love and care for each one as if they were my own, learning each one of their personalities and making sure they are happy, safe and get all the love and attention they would get as if they were at home. Safety and happiness is my number one priority! I hope you give me the opportunity to care and love your fur baby while you are gone, I hope to hear from you soon. I am home all day, every day. Days here consist of playing, daily walks(weather permitting), daily brushes, and all of the love, pets, and attention. Fur babies get full range of the house and yard with lots of love and pets. We go for daily walks (weather permitting) and get brushed daily.

First time using Melissa and she was great! Hazel was a happy pup when we picked her up. I appreciated all of Melissa’s timely communication. I look forward to using her again next time we are out of town.

We had a wonderful experience! She was very responsive, kept us updated with daily photos and messages, and communicated with us throughout the entire stay. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again on our next trip!

Melissa is wondering. She provided updates the whole time we were gone. She took care of 2 of our dogs one 13 years old that had never stayed with a stranger. She worked with them the whe week and they got comfortable and seemed to love it with her. She will be out go to for taking care of our fur babies from now on.

A typical day

I have all kinds of toys and a doggie pool for the summers to ensure they stay cool even while outside. We would have a lot of playing outside and laying in the sun, and they will receive tons of love!
