Pet care experience

Caring pet sitter who loves animals

I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.

I can attest that this person loves animals, and I know she would make an excellent caregiver for them. She possesses great patience and understanding; she is outstanding at this type of work.

My name is Melisa. I have a now 5 year old dog that Melanie has known since she was a puppy. Melanie is my neighbor and she has been super helpful with my dog, always taken care of her when I needed her to. She has also taught her some basic tricks and is always very loving towards my pet. I would recommend her to anyone to help with their pet. She is enthusiastic and loves taking care of animals.

Let me know if your pet has special needs, if they usually have a lot of energy, if they like people being with them the whole time or not. I will adjust to the needs of your pet. If you have any special requests please reach out and I will be more than happy to assist.
