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.

Luca loved his stay. I received numerous pictures and two videos as well as commentary on how he was doing. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for your sincere care and protective oversight.

Excellent. Mellise tailored her care to meet Nikka's needs. This is the first dog sitting experience and Nikka was a bit anxious. Mellise made a quiet space for her to relax. She also sent photos and updates. Thanks Mellise.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Samantha. It means so much to know she was happy, relaxed, and eating well while she was with you. We truly appreciate the love and attention you gave her. We appreciate the pics and the messages about how she was doing, we know she enjoyed her walks with you. Thank you again for everything—we will definitely be booking with you the next time we bring Samantha to town! ❤️🐾.
