Loving Pet Sitter Working from Home

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a recent grad from DePaul University. I’ve always had a pet at home growing up and currently have a Scottish Fold kitten with me in Chicago. I’ve taken care of large dogs, medium, and small and have loved all of them! I’m also a major cat lover! I’m so excited to take care of your pets as if they were my own! Melissa

Melissa was great with Pippa and with following my directions for care. She was communicative and provided plenty of updates and pictures regarding her care. Thanks Melissa!!

Melissa was wonderful! On time, patient and sweet with Laika. She’s had experience with Portuguese Water dogs before which was so, so nice because she knew her way around our puppy and was so understanding with his level of energy. Would definitely have her back!

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about any personal preferences your dog may have before I care for them. It can be from food, petting, to walking preferences and I can definitely accommodate to their needs!

A typical day

Of course, play time is a must. I try to do at least 30 minute walks with young dogs to get their energy out, and I am flexible when it comes to older dogs.

I am currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule. My partner and I live walking distance to the lake and dream about owning our own dog in the future. Until then, I’d love to care for your dog as if they were my own! We take lots of walks and can make plenty of time to give your fur-babies some love and attention.
