I’ll Treat Your Pets Like My Own

Promo code for $20 off is MELISA41502 I work from home, but would still love to host your pet. Can come to your house and check on your pet or stay on weekends. I can check in on your pet before and after work and later in the evening. Most definitely weekends are great to spend time spoiling your pets! Passing through the area and the Hotel doesn’t take pets? Bring them to me. Going on vacation and need a dependable person to watch your pets? I would love to host your pet! Just need a dog walker or someone to check in? Send me a message! I’ve had dogs since I was 6. (I am 48 now) As a teen, I had a lady who would always bring her dog to stay w me in the summer, several times a month for about 5 years. Growing up as a child, teen, and now as an adult, we always had a dog to care for. We had a Siamese cat when I was younger. As an adult, we have had Parakeets, and a rabbit. We currently have one dog, two snakes, and a bearded dragon. So I can care for more than a dog or cat. My Nephew trusts me to watch their cat at their home anytime they go on vacation. I clean her litter box, make sure she’s fed and watered, and spend a good deal of time loving on her. My neighbor lady also trusts me to check in on her two dogs and one cat anytime they are gone on vacation. I love to sit w them and love on them. I let them out and make sure the inside kitty does not get out. I do work full time from 6 am to 2:30pm, during the week, but I can stop in before and after work, and weekends are very good for checking on, walking, boarding, or sitting in your Home. I have also walked dogs and cuddled cats at the Humane Society.

Melissa was wonderful! She took great care of our little dog in our home. We met her the day before and felt so comfortable leaving her with our spoiled pup. She's very friendly and our little boy really seemed to love her. She sent pictures so we could see he was doing great. Thank you Melissa. We'll be calling on you again. ?❤

Best decision ever! My pack was more than well taken care of. We enjoyed the pictures sent to us daily that made us feel at ease with their happy faces. One of my pack seemed disappointed to see us home over her. ? They definitely were loved on extra hard. We will be using Melissa again!

Melissa has been wonderful! My pups are happy and well cared for! She has been flexible with my crazy schedule and oh so sweet. I feel that having her take care of my pups while I’m at work gives me peace of mind to focus on my job without having to worry if my fur babies are okay. Will hire her again and again!

Melissa was absolutely fantastic. She met us a few days before our trip to meet our pets and go over our expectations. She was always prompt with responding to any questions or concerns we had prior to or during our trip. We requested that she send us pictures of our creatures and she did not disappoint! We even have a fish tank with turtles and a few fish and she cared for them as well while we were away. We would not hesitate to leave our pets in her care again.

Schedule

I do work full time during the week, but I can check in on your dogs or cats after work around 3pm, and on the weekends. I love animals and will treat them like my own. I can give them pills if needed, or just show them love.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Melissa can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Are they aggressive? Do they bite? Special food. Allergies? I like all breeds. I’ve walked dogs at the Humane Society before, and cuddled kitties. I’ve just always loved animals and want this to be a great experience for your fur baby and myself.
