I stay at home full time with my 6 month old. So, my time for your pets is very flexible. I am also able to bathe and/or groom your dogs if that is a service you would like. I have a bath price set but I’m open to conversations about that and other grooming services you would like to add. I do all the grooming for my dogs including haircuts, nail clipping, and deshedding.

Hi, please, let me know if your dogs has any special needs or challenges that I should be aware of. I am happy to accommodate their needs and help keep everyone safe!

Pets

Patient and flexible animal lover

Pet care experience

I have always loved all kinds of animals and will care for your fur babies just as well as I care for my own. I grew up with a toy poodle though I would have loved to have more pets. Currently, my husband and I have two small dogs but I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I have experience with caring for older dogs as well as very young puppies. I am familiar with pad training and kennel training as well. I would love to take care of your pets and am more than willing to accommodate their needs!

Melissa was wonderful!! Her communication was great throughout the whole process. She sent pictures & kept us updated during the time Captain was there. Captain had fun & a great time playing with her dogs, just like he was part of the family. He was even allowed on the bed and gave Melissa kisses he was so happy while he was there. I would have Captain go back there anytime. She was great & I didn't have to worry about a thing. I felt comfortable & knew he was being taken care of!! I would recommend Melissa for a Rover to anyone.

Melissa did a great job housesitting for our long weekend away. She was very attentive to our 3 fur girls which includes an energetic puppy. We’ll definitely call on her again. We also enjoyed the pics and videos that she sent. Highly recommend her!

Melissa, has helped my dog Odin and I so much. Since he's been having more trouble waiting for me to come home to go to the bathroom. She has done a great job making sure he's comfortable and safe when I have to be away longer than normal.

Our puppy loves taking walks with Melissa. She has been a big help with potty training and kennel training, keeping our fur baby happy since I work and can't be home as often as I would like. I highly recommend her for drop-in visits and walks!
