Hi I'm Mell! :) I have over 15 years of experience caring for and training dogs and 6 years of experience I've gained with my very own rescue, Jasper! (who came with many of his own issues I was able to train out of him!) I've also been the go-to sitter for friends for many years now. I’ve cared for many shapes and sizes - including rescues and seniors and I've gained experience working with common behavioural issues (e.g. anxiety, leash reactivity, resource guarding) and its something I find very rewarding.
I would love to offer my services to you (Walks, drop ins, overnights, housesitting) and your pets as it would be an absolute pleasure to and I am looking for extra income as I have just purchased a home. Its also an added bonus because we are new to town and Jasper needs new friends! (If possible!)
Overnights additional info:
I can accommodate most individual needs and preferences, Myself and my partner Kurt work from home with flexible schedules to tend to your pets needs at all times. If you have questions about special care feel free to reach out. Stays include several walks a day through the trails of Avalon or nearby parks. I offer lots of individual attention (I only accept one boarder at a time as I also have my dog Jasper here full-time), and full run of our 3 Bedroom Townhome + fenced Backyard. I welcome all ages and energy levels, and require only that boarders are potty trained and can do a meet & greet with myself and Jasper to ensure compatibility.
I'm looking forward to making Jasper some new friends and ensuring your mind can be at ease while you are away for business or pleasure! I know how stressful it can be when leaving your furry loved one behind

Melissa offered amazing in-home boarding for our dog. She was communicative, open, and receptive to information and preferences. She provided a safe, loving and supportive environment with lots of exercise and stimulation, and opportunities for rest, and also provided frequent updates and photos. She has an astute knowledge of animal behaviour and tailors the boarding experience to the needs of the pet. We 100% would book with Melissa again!
