I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

My five-year-old is a bundle of joy, although not the quickest to understand. My 10-year-old understands everything but alas is 10 and not the quickest.

A typical day

My responsibility is to care for the pets that we have chosen to love well. I always start with a quick morning relief. Maybe a bit of playtime and then our walk. We have engaging playtime when we are together during the day. With two dogs at two different ages that looks different for each of them, but still satisfies their needs. Whether depending we will take an afternoon walk. We always do an evening walk to make sure we are prepared for overnight and rest.

Missy was very loving and attentive with our pups. They took to her calm, warm energy from the first meet and greet. Would highly recommend.

Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!

Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.

Melissa stayed at my house to take care of my dog and cat while I was away on vacation and she did a great job! she kept in contact to let me know how things were going and sent pictures daily of both my dog and cat. I would use Melissa again in the future!
