Friendly Sitter - Previous Vet Tech

Pet care experience

My partner and I would love to help care for your pets! We have two dogs of our own. I graduated with a degree in Animal Science, and I'm very passionate about animals! I have experience as a dog sitter, and I worked as a veterinary technician in the past. My responsibilities involved helping with medical procedures as well as dog boarding. On a daily basis I cared for up to 40 dogs for walking and feeding, as well as bathing, grooming and medicating as necessary. As for my dogs, their names are Juniper and Jasper. They both love to play together, and they love making new friends! The dog park is their favorite place. I am available 7 days a week to walk your dog, or to take care of them while you're away. I will take care of your fur baby as though they were one of my own! I want to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Let me know if your dog has any special needs, as well.

Malissa took care of my dog and my brother’s dog while we were out of town for my brother’s wedding. My dog, Millie, is very well trained but can be picky and needs a lot of attention and exercise. Buddy was a puppy and needed strict rules for training consistancy. Millie and Buddy both fell in love with Malissa. It was so much better than taking them to a kennel! She sent pictures and was an absolute angel to do everything that was asked of her. We always use her when we need a sitter! She is kind, loving, responsible and when needed very careful. -CB

I have a fenced yard with two dogs that would love to play with your pups! We take clients on a case-by-case basis, as we want to ensure your pups will be safe in our home. We recognize that while our dogs are very friendly, we should always make sure everyone gets along before accepting clients. Safety first!

Information Malissa K. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I have worked with a wide range of dogs with various special needs, such as elderly dogs that require assistance with standing/walking. If your dog will be staying with us in our home, we do want to do a meet-and-greet to ensure your dogs get along with ours.

A typical day

We love to take our dogs on walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. While we are comfortable with these activities, we will be sure to get permission from you so we know what your dog can do. Our goal is to keep your dog safe! If there is a specific dog park that your dog is used to, be sure to let me know!
