Pet care experience
I've always been a dog and cat owner and I take great pride in my ability to interact with all animals with ease and patience. I have years of experience walking an energetic pit bull with great success. I have taken four dogs to the dog beach at once, walked up to four dogs at a time, and frequently visit dogs park with multiple dogs. I am super active so enjoy walks and hikes even if they are long in length and time. I am always prepared to clean up, feed, take instructions, and care for your beloved pets. Cats are very welcome too as I also have extensive experience with cats that live with a dog or dogs. Reptiles are not welcome unless they are easy to care and easy to feed. I am comfortable with feeding fish and caring for plants while you are away.
Reviews
Melissa was wonderful over a week long stay with our pets (2 large dogs and backyard chickens). She kept in touch sending pictures of all of our pets several times while we were away. She kept the house and yard cleaned up. Thanks very much!
Melissa came as a referral from our good friends. They were right about her, she’s wonderful! I feel like she went above and beyond both in taking care of our pup but also our house. Highly recommend entrusting her with your next trip!
Melissa was quick to respond when I needed a last-minute sitter and was really easy to work with! She was great with our 5 month old puppy.
Melissa was great and already have another weekend booked with her. She left our house cleaner than when we left and provided updates and lots of photos every day!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
From my extensive experience of caring for a variety of personalities, I’m confident in caring for your pet. Safety for your pet and myself are very important. I’m experienced with aspiring escape artists (my cat) and high energy/strong dogs on walks.
Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet
Their idiosyncrasies, routine, food schedule, energy level, how they enjoy being praised for good behavior, how their owner deals with bad behavior, how they respond to other dogs when on a walk, if they have any medical issues I should be aware of, if they have any allergies, if they steal items off counters, and anything else of importance.
A typical day
I enjoy talking nature or neighborhood walks. I'm experienced with taking dogs to community dog parks and larger public parks. I also enjoy playing fetch in the backyard if available.

Availability
I am flexible to work out a schedule for taking care of your pet. I will only care for pets that I know are receiving enough breaks throughout the day. I.e. dog has sufficient potty breaks depending on breed, age, and routine.
