Pet care experience

A wagging tail for every pet I care

I am 30 years old, I was the owner of 2 dogs. Sadly one passed away. I have devoted myself to help other owners with their pets, over time I learned the characteristics of dogs, I am patients towards there character and am willing to become the pack leader to have an outcome for a submissive dog. I am in another app as well and I got to be with other dogs who can be so energetic. It is my mission to make them happy and comfortable. I want owners to feel proud of tbem wagging a tail at the end of the day. I hope to meet your dogs and I know they are special to you as they are to me as well.

Melisa was perfect! Very caring for my dog Bentley. He had an upset stomach due to me changing his food and she cared for him until he was better. She even washed his bed which was very thoughtful. Ginger loved playing with her dog.

Melisa was an amazing sitter for my dog Brooklyn. Brooklyn, she sent many updates and was constantly reassuring with what was happening. She took the best care of him and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. It was such a pleasant experience.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Non-smoking household

Children 0-5 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet has freedom in my home and has access to my yard mainly to play and run. If they potty while playing that’s okay it is no problem but mainly they must be able to take potty walks every 4 hours with me on leash. I make sure to feed them and dedicate time to exercise and lots of cuddles! I also want to add, fees will be charged for constant peeing in the home and use of emergency female or male diaper for precaution. Every dog will always like to make their mark. But each dog has their own dominion.

Pets

A typical day

I will wake up at 7am for morning walks. Every pet goes for a 10 minute through 15 minute walk every 4 hours. Yard is only for play time or run. Every dog must be accustomed to pee on walks with me.

I would like to know there characteristics in order for me to know their traits & their triggers and friendliness towards other dogs in order for me to be prepared. I am fully aware of dog behavior and be able to dominate them as well.
