Availability

I work from home so my schedule is widely available most days for long-term and short-term walks, visits and boarding. I am very active and have always enjoyed hiking, nature, long walks in beautiful places and the only thing that makes that better is having a furry friend along for the adventures! and then cuddles on the couch and tv at home, of course.

Information Mellise A. would like to know about your pet

It is always So So helpful when a pet parent can write a physical reference sheet guide on their pets, Basic schedules like eating and sleeping preferences, Current training commands or practices that I can help with, Of course medication specifics if applicable. Anything that you can think of, The more detailed the better. (:

A typical day

If dogs are physically healthy and able I frequent the app AllTrails and have plenty of dog friendly trail favorites saved all over the bay area of different difficulties. I live 5 minutes away from Benicia State Recreation Area, and that is one of my most favorites. As well as the Beautiful Benicia City Dog Park in walking distance. At home, Cooking up food in the kitchen together & Cuddles on the couch while watching TV is the best!

Pet care experience

I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs & cats, I can administer medicine & I love walking and jogging! Caring for the same dogs regularly and forming trusting friendships is so rewarding. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly animals as well & Plenty of boarding experience. Dogs will be walked daily. I promise each and every visit, your pet will be treated as family.

Words cannot describe how amazing Mellise is! I was in a bit of pinch and Melisse saves the day, she took such amazing care of my dog buck who is special needs and she treated him like he was a part of her family! I highly recommend her and her boys, not only do they got all the love in the world they also treat them with respect and take the time to get to know the dog and their habits.I loved all the updates and pictures definitely eased my mind with boarding my boy buck. I wish there were more than five stars to give. If I need a dog sitter agian I’m choosing Melisse

Mellise was amazing with my dog Tiki! She kept me updated with photos, made sure she was comfortable (even let her cuddle up in bed), and I could tell Tiki was really well cared for. Would absolutely book again!

Without reservation I would highly recommend Mellise. She kept me up to date with daily reports and was thoughtful in caring for my two pups. Through some magic of hers my pups experienced their first night without an accident. Thank you Mellise
