Pet care experience

Compassionate,flexible animal lover

Hi! Im Melissa. I've always had a passion for dogs. In fact i've had four dogs throughout my life. All ranging in different breeds from Boxer, Pit bull, Chocolate Lab, and Chihuahua! As you can tell I love pups of all shapes and sizes. I'm a very active person and enjoy going on long walks/runs with dogs. Providing a safe and clean place for your pup is important to me. I'm very compassionate about animals and would love to help you take care of your four footed friend!

We booked Melissa last minute for a trip we had to take. She was super responsive and extremely sweet. Melo had fun there and I would absolutely use her again if we’re ever in the area.

Chester loved Melissa! He made his special "howl" when he saw her coming. She was always punctual, always smiling, even in bad weather! She happily took Chester to the beach and in the surf, his absolute favorites. I heartily recommend her.

Melissa is great! We came home and the house looked like we had never left. Dog happy. House clean. She sent pictures while we were gone. Highly recommend.

Boarding • May 25, 2018

Melissa took great care of our dog Zoey. Zoey became friends with her right away. The dog was well taken care of including walks. Given this was Zoey's first time away from home, we were anxious but she did very well. Melissa sent us several photos during the stay so we knew how she was doing. We hope to use her services again!

Safety, trust & environment

I've been around dogs my whole life. Energetic ones, lazy ones, and even the awkward nervous pups. I can easily adjust to a dogs mood to make sure they feel comfortable with me!

A typical day

Enjoy the outdoors! There are a number of parks near by that are dog friendly. Or for more content pups, hanging around the house and getting plenty of attention works too!

Please let me know if there is anything special I need to know about your pup. If they are shy to new people I'd love to meet the pup for a walk prior to boarding if it will make them more comfortable.
