No pet too big or small!

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong pet owner with no uncaged pets currently in my home. I have a fenced in backyard, but love to get out. We'll walk, hike or hit the dog park! I'll provide lots of scratches, cuddles and playtime for fur friends missing their owners.

Melissa was an exceptional dog sitter for Maya, providing a steady flow of updates and pictures that not only showed her genuine love for dogs but also assured me of Maya's well-being and happiness during her stay. It was evident that Maya thoroughly enjoyed her time with Melissa, which gives me great confidence and peace of mind. I am absolutely delighted with the care provided and look forward to entrusting Melissa with Maya's care in the future.

Melissa took great care of our 10 year old Border Collie while we were away for an extended trip! She sent us pictures and videos every day of them playing together, going for walks, and relaxing at home - our dog was so happy and content. Our dog requires daily medication (and sometimes some extra meds for joint pain) which Melissa was happy to administer. Thanks, Melissa, for all your time and attention! You're awesome and we'll be back!

Melissa was absolutely amazing with my pup, Oliver! She treated him like her own and was so active with him. She also kept us updated the whole time.

Is your dog good with children? Is your dog good with other dogs? How much daily exercise do you currently give your dog? What is the best way to soothe your dog when he/she is nervous?
