Mini’s Play Yard!

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Meli. I have over 20yrs experience caring for dogs ranging in age from puppies to seniors. Experience with potty/crate training, feeding, walks, and basic commands (sit, stay, etc.). I’ve always been a dog lover and hope to one day have my own boarding facility. Having a background in behavioral therapy aids in the techniques I use to reinforce, shape, and model “good” behavior.

I felt comfortable the first visit. Exceptional care and I will be booking again. Plenty of pictures and videos. I am so thankful for Melissa she relieved my fear of leaving Tux.

I had a great experience with Melissa. She took care of Deeno like he was part of the family, I really appreciate her. She is a lovely person kind and caring. I would definitely keep her as my pet sitter. Thank you again for the hospitality for Deeno.

I have a huge fenced yard and one fur baby of my own named Mini. I can easily crate your fur baby if needed. Toys and therapeutic calming sprays are also present to ease anxiety as I know new environments/faces can cause stress.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog interacts with new places, faces, and other animals. Has your pet ever been attacked or attacked by another animal? Does your pet self soothe when feeling anxious/stressed? What commands are your dog familiar with, and updated vaccination records (flea)? Does your dog need to be separated during feeding time?

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog's mind physically, so I encourage play time that allows thinking in different ways to achieve the task at hand whether that be fetch, racing, and hide & seek.

Availability

I work from home with the ability to create own schedule based on needs. If you was to look up the definition of “homebody” I'm sure you'll see a picture of myself lol. This schedule makes potty breaks, feeding, walks, and playtime a breeze.
