I am able to feed, walk, play with any of your pets in your home and will be respectful of your privacy as well. I have lived around animals my whole life and have so much love for animals, I will take care of them like my own

Information Melina S. would like to know about your pet

It is important that I know how your dog acts during walks. Are they okay with other dogs passing by? How do they act in public around people ? Do they have any special needs or is there anything I should avoid doing while taking care of them? How is your cats personality? Picky eater? Anxious? A bit defensive ?

A typical day

When I am watching your dog I will take them on walks to explore the neighborhood and have some time to tire them out. We will play fetch or any other game your dog loves playing ! I love going in walks at green lake it’s very peaceful there and if we are able go I would love to take your dog there.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets for many years now , I had dogs growing up and would feed them, take them on walks and bathe them. I now own cats and gained many skills on taking good care of cats as well.

Thank you thank you! Melina picked up some thumbtacks my dog had gotten into and alerted me immediately about how he was doing. You’re the best!!

Melina was so great with my dog! They were extremely responsive (even when I wasn’t due to my nursing schedule) and communicative. I got mid-walk updates and pictures, and checked in with me before leaving too. I will definitely be booking with Melina again!! Thank you!
