About Melissa

Honestly speaking, I do not have any professional experience caring for dogs. Not interested, but wait. I do have plenty of personal experience with dogs. I grew up with a dog in my family and have loved them ever since. My first dog was given to me by my husband shortly after we married. There has been a dog in my house ever since. She has since passed, but I currently have two dogs. I take care of them like they were my kids. I feed them twice a day, take out when they want or need to, groom them every six weeks and take them to the vet for regular checkups. We take walks and play together. They are considered part of our family, which consists of me, my husband, my daughter, my son, my beagle and my shih tzu. I just love dogs. Just ask my family. If I see one running loose, I try my best to rescue it and find its home. I even brought one home and took care of her until I could reunite her with her family. I babysit two children about 12 hours a week and I also take care of their two dogs on occasion. So you see, I don't have professional experience with dogs, but I believe if you have a passion for something that is all you need to make it happen. Please contact me. Thank you!
