Information Meli J. would like to know about your pet

I would just prefer small or medium size breeds, friendly with other dogs so they would play with my Nina. Also is very important that they are kids friendly because I have kids.

A typical day

I have a big yard and my dog loves it so we go walk around and play every day with my husband and kids. Nina loves to play fetch.

Pet care experience

I’m the mother of one lovely, playful, and fluffy westie named Nina. I work from home so we have plenty time for playdates and walks :) we will be more than happy to help you with your fluffy baby. I’m from Costa Rica so we travel a lot and I know the feeling of having to leave your furry friend with a stranger, you can be sure I will take care of them as if they were my own. I’ve owned dogs my entire life, we treat them as part of the family, I really see them as the most sweet, loyal being, always prepared to give you love no matter what, so I try to give them the same back. I speak spanish and portuguese in case you require so please feel to use any of those languages.

Meli was an amazing sitter for our Prince. She was very friendly, accommodating, and kept in contact throughout his stay. Her whole family was great to deal with and we will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dog.

Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.
