Melissa’s Pet Hotel

I am a pet sitter and watch animals in my home. I sit for many lovely families in this area. We have cared for every kind of pet that you could imagine including dogs, birds, lizards, frogs and small fuzzy friends. I am a stay at home Mom who can provide your pet with constant attention and lots of belly rubs. We live on a quiet street with a large fenced in back yard.I support several dog rescues and animal shelters and I am a former docent with Lincoln Park zoo in Chicago. Your dog will be safe, happy and loved while you enjoy a worry-free vacation! We can send you updates via text message or email. This is a private home and we do not believe in crating dogs unless you feel it is necessary and provide your own crate. Otherwise your dog has the run of the house, just like in his own home. If your pet requires medication, I am skilled at administering them. Excellent references. Daily walks included. All dogs must be housebroken and non-aggressive. $30 per night for the first dog, additional dogs are $20 per night each, from the same family. Birds/small animals in a cage are $10 per night. We try to book only one dog at a time, however, a dog ( or dogs if they are from the same family) may be departing on the same day that your dog arrives or a dog(s) may be arriving on the same day that your dog departs. If you do not wish your dog to meet other dogs, we can keep them separate until the other one is picked up.. Unfortunately we cannot accept puppies, dogs who chew furniture or dogs with separation anxiety. Thank you in advance, Melissa

I have a life-long, genuine love of animals.
