About: I’ve had 9 pets in my life and know how to handle defensive dogs. It’s been 6 months since I started taking care of a family’s old dog over night and I’m ready for more work. I’m available for any sort of service, popping by for a walk and a meal, staying overnight, or even taking the dog on a road trip 😂(serious offer) I am still in school but I don’t have responsibilities after 4pm so I have a lot of time. My weekends are free as well. Not long ago I took care of an old dog called Apollo on weekends. He was in pain and had to take multiple meds. I had to eye him all the time to make sure he wasn’t scratching himself to injuries, I gave him his drugs, cleaned up after him, and played with him when he had energy. He was lovely and taught me a lot about compassion. I can work with a dogs needs and try to build a trust based relationship with them.
“We LOVE Jerrie! She was just the best! Jerrie was gracious enough to come over twice prior to the start of sitting to get to know the pups and vice versa. I knew immediately based off the pups reaction to meeting Jerrie that they would be well cared for. Declan loved her and wanted to hug her upon first encounter and this is not his usual behavior. Grim also liked Jerrie immediately, as did I. She went for a walk with us to see how the dogs behaved so she would be well prepared when it was just them. Knowing Jerrie was taking care of the pups in our home while we were gone gave me peace so I could enjoy my time away without constant worry and stress. Oh and she sent us multiple pics and videos daily. It was wonderful. Thank you Jerrie!”
“Melanie was very professional and communicative. She did a thorough pre-pet sitting meeting where she clearly demonstrated her understanding of caring for animals. I had to change some timing of my pets care and she was very flexible. My cat needs special medicine that Melanie was able to administer without issue.”
