Pampered paws and wagging tails!

Pet care experience

I will be the next best thing to you while you are away. I have been a dog mom most of my adult life. My home is not complete without a furry companion. I am available full time to care for your dog or cat and will care for them like they are my own. I have worked in the healthcare field for over 30 years so I am comfortable giving medications, or with other medical needs your pet may have. I am happy to take your dog for walks, play ball, or provide a lap for them to curl up on. I can be flexible and adjust my schedule to help fit your pet care needs. I am also an excellent dog bather and I am willing to provide this service as well.

Melissa is terrific. She sat with our dogs for an evening when we were visiting and needed a pet sitter for the night. Our two dogs loved her and she was great with them. She is super fast responding to questions and very flexible on our scheduling needs. Can’t say enough positives about her!

So happy to be able to leave the dogs for 8+ hours when we want to take a day trip. Melissa came to meet our dogs first and the next day made a home visit to let our girls outdoors to take care of business. She provided a report that all went well and I was able to enjoy my day without worrying about getting home to the dogs.

I was real happy to have found Melissa, she was such a good care taker for my boys. She kept me up to date on how they were while I was away. It put me at ease and I didn't worry about them, I knew she would be there. She was so nice and my cats seemed to really like her. After I came home I could tell they missed her visits. They have become accustomed to her at a particular time, and when she was not there they reacted especially Rango he loved her visits he likes to eat. If I need to leave them again I will be calling on her she did an excellent job. Thank you Rover and Melissa. Kathy.

I would use Melissa again in a heartbeat. She was punctual and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and happy.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

I like to fill out an information sheet so that I know as much as possible about your pet. If your dog will be staying at my place I would ask that you bring your own bedding, create (if applicable), food, leash... I will want to know if your dog has any allergies, or medical concerns. Feeding schedules, and any silly habits they might have.

A typical day

I am happy to go on long walks with your dog. I live close to a large park and my complex has a bark park as well.
