Big yard for big fun!
Pet care experience
I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. I spent summers with my aunt helping her with rescue dogs and work to train them. I’ve had my own little ball of fur for almost 2 years and she has been amazing. It’s been a labor of love that taught me how to sneak medication into unsuspecting treats and train a dog that doesn’t work for treats 😁. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m able to work from home as needed, but I am not home all day, every day. When I am unable to work from home, I’m away from home between 4 and 8 hours. My cocker spaniel-golden retriever mix absolutely loves other dogs and wants to play, no matter how big or little. She is quite timid with people, but isn’t aggressive in any way. She is a sharer of just about anything, food, water, treats, toys, etc. Even with our own yard, we like to take daily walks around our neighborhood to take in the sights (and smells).
Reviews
Maddie loves her walks and Melissa is always on time! Very reliable!
Absolutely fantastic and dependable! Maddie enjoyed her walks and looked forward everyday for Melissa to come get her!!
Melissa was great with our dogs and they absolutely love her. She has become our go to pet sitter whenever we go on trips.
Melissa was great with our dogs. They absolutely loved her! She always updated us on how they were doing and sent pictures of them when she came by. She was a awesome and we would definitely recommend her. We will definitely rebook with her again.

I have a securely fenced yard and the ability to safely crate dogs. Additionally, dogs are separated during meal times to prevent any incidents regarding meals.
Information Melissa Y. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any quirks or unique traits so I can accommodate that from the start. It will allow us to have a reduced stress stay.
A typical day
We have toys that are available inside and outside. Fetch is a pretty big game in our house, especially with tennis balls. My dog is very friendly and wants to be friends with any dog she sees.

I have a somewhat flexible schedule where I can be home if necessary, but also come home during my midday lunch break, reducing alone time significantly.
