Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

Please disclose any issues or needs your pet has during the meet and greet so we can best care for your fur babies. If they need to be separate from other dogs, indoor potty trained ? Are they a chewer on other items? Do they cry, anxious or loud barkers? Need medications or special needs? Senior dogs? Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved pet to someone who sees this not just as a job, but as a passion. We promise to care for your pet as if they were my own, ensuring they are happy, safe, and loved.

A typical day

We have drop off and pickup time frames between 8:30am -9:00am and 4:30pm-5:00pm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾 We do this to keep a calm, nurturing quiet environment and not disturb the other fur babies. If you cannot make those drop times please communicate that during meet and greet. Please send your ETA ( estimated time of arrival) as we prepare for your specific appointment time. Our home is very calm, clean and we can manage special needs, separation anxiety, male anxiety, first timers, leash pullers, multiple dogs/siblings or any breed & extra large dogs. We can safely transport your pets comfortably for drop off & pickup for an additional round trip fee for your convenience if our drop off / pickup times do not work for your schedule. Our days in NC start early before the heat with morning potty, walk and feedings. Midday consists of playtime together, playing in dog run and quick midday potty. Decompression and rest begins around 1 pm includes Indoor training, cuddles, watching tv, naps with Lots of love and cuddling! Then feeding begins around 5pm, potty break then dogs playing with each other/wrestling, exploring, sniffing around and marking their favorite spots, more evening walking trails and chillin adventures. Then around 8pm another late night potty, stretch and sniff then getting settled for bed. Some of my favorite times are just sitting out in my chair watching the dogs play with each other and cuddling with them ! You'll get at least one update a day!

Preferred Sitter for your FURBABY⭐️

Pet care experience

I am professionally trained over 28 years of experience with animals. It's such a privilege to care for, entertain, cuddle and train the fur babies entrusted to us. We wouldn't trade it for anything! 💕 We know the feeling of having to leave our fur babies and we love to help you feel comfortable, keep them happy, healthy and safe while you are away. We are able to provide a well-balanced safe and fun environment for any and all friendly dogs cats, bunnies and puppies. I've had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. My journey in pet care has not only given me a deep understanding of their needs but has also enriched my life in countless ways. **Special Skills: **Senior Care Senior pets hold a special place in my heart. ♥️ I'm well-versed in catering to their specific needs, be it administering medication, assisting with mobility, or simply providing them with the extra love and patience they deserve.

Melissa took excellent care of our puppy! We have never boarded our dogs before and were a little nervous about having to board our puppy for two weeks, but Melissa sent updates and pictures every day and was very quick to respond to any question I sent her while we were away. I cannot recommend Melissa enough!

Amazing service from Melissa and her family. 10/10 recommend her to anyone who wants their pups to feel like they are part of the family! I never had to ask how they were doing. I received tons of photos during their stay which allowed me to enjoyed my vacation knowing my little ones were taken care of and loved! I will definitely be using their services in the future!

Absolutely amazing! Our new dog is very anxious, large, and full of puppy energy but Melissa and her husband handled her wonderfully. She kept in constant contact with pictures and updates showing that our Indie girl was having a blast!

They are absolutely amazing. Treated my fur babies with love and care. They updated us everyday with tons of pictures. I could tell my babies were comfortable and safe and happy. Very polite, knowledgeable, and caring. You can tell there is nothing but love running through that home. I would recommend anyone and everyone to them. I will be booking again and they will be the only people I use. Thank you so much again.
