Pet care experience

Passionate Dog Caregiver

I’ve loved animals since childhood and have hands on experience caring for and training my own dog, whom I brought with me from the Dominican Republic and who has traveled with me to Puerto Rico. Training her from puppyhood taught me patience, consistency, and how to support dogs at different stages of life. She’s my truest companion and deepest love, which reflects the care, attention, and respect I bring to every animal. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether supporting senior dogs or keeping high-energy dogs safely engaged, and I always aim to create a calm, loving environment.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure all exterior doors stay closed at all times, and my building requires going through two doors to enter, which adds extra security. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as provided, feeding instructions, medications, allergies, and any behavioral needs. I’m very mindful about anxiety, triggers, and how pets interact with other animals or people, so I can create a stress-free and safe environment for everyone.

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Melisa , who has been our trusted dog sitter for the past four years. Melisa has consistently gone above and beyond to provide exceptional care for our furry family members, and her genuine love for animals is evident in everything she does. Melisa is not only reliable and professional but also incredibly attentive to the needs of our pets. She ensures they are well-fed, exercised, and loved, treating them as if they were her own. Her ability to handle different temperaments and needs, whether it’s administering medication or calming an anxious dog, has always impressed us. Whenever we leave our dogs in Melisa’s care, we have complete peace of mind knowing they are in the best hands. She keeps us updated with photos and messages, which makes us feel connected even when we are away. Her dedication, patience, and warm personality make her an invaluable part of our pets' lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Melisa to anyone seeking a caring, dependable, and skilled dog sitter. She truly is a gem!

Please let me know anything important about your pet, from feeding schedules and medications to behaviors, routines, triggers, or anxiety. Tell me how they do with other pets, kids, men, or new environments, and whether they can be left alone for short periods. The more I know about their likes, dislikes, and daily habits, the better I can make their stay comfortable and safe.
