“In Pet’s Home Care” A meet and greet is a must! I will follow all instructions for your pets care. I will ask about your pets daily routine, and any additional information that I may need to know. “Sitters Home Care” A meet and greet is a must! I will keep your pets in my home. I have a fully fenced in area for outdoor potty breaks and ball play. Animals are allowed on the furniture. If your pet is crate trained, I will place the crate in my bedroom. My house is a safe place for animals!

Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me with any behaviors that your dog may exhibit, that way I can be properly prepared on how to handle if a scenario was to arise.

A typical day

A typical overnight would consist of 2-3 visits/walks in the day and myself staying with your pet for the overnight. I try to keep your pets schedule (feeding, walking, potty breaks) as close to normal as possible. Theres nothing more interesting to your dog than going for a walk in the neighborhood and smelling all the new smells. I also provide play time at home or in a park if available.

Melissa was great! She did exactly what we discussed! My dogs really like her and were excited to see her to go for walks!

Melissa is our German Shepherd’s new best friend! She made sure he was loved while we were away and stayed with him at our house, sending us pictures and updates daily. We were so lucky to have her around to care for our pup in the comfort of his own home because of his age and separation anxiety. She truly helped put him and us at ease. Thank You Melissa!
