Pet care experience

I'm like a frisbee I'm a catch

Hello recently my older dog has passed And I am starting to do Rover again with boarding within my home. I do have a preference for small or medium sized dogs just because of the space of the studio apartment I live in but I am comfortable with a larger dog along as it's only one dog at a time if they're on the larger side I can do multiple smaller dogs. I am conformable with large and small dogs and will treat your pets like my own. Whether your pet likes to lounge in the house or run around outside, I can adapt to their needs. And whatever your rules are, you can be sure i'll follow them. i'd love to watch your doggos for however long you need. My main goal is to big a kind & compassionate dog sitter to give you and your pet the best experience

Melissa was very sweet and our pup and cat came home happy and healthy. She asked all the right questions to make me feel reassured they would be well taken care of, and she provided daily pictures so we continued to know how they were doing.

I cannot recommend Melissa enough! She is very communicative and always replies to any questions I might have. Bayou always has a great time and is always excited for his stays with her!
