About Melissa A.

Safety, trust & environment

I want to build a trusting relationship with you and you're pets. For home visits, I will take time to ensure your pet is eating and drinking well, make sure litter boxes and crates are clean, and each pet knows I'm there to make them feel safe and loved. Is you're pet a little shy? No worries! I'll give their privacy after making sure everything is taken care of.

Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog a jumper or barker? Are there any behaviors I should know before hand? Please let me know your dogs typical reactions and routines so I am well prepared to take care of them

A typical day

Making sure your dog is happy, entertained, and comfortable are my top priorities! I'll make sure they get some exercise in along with plenty of belly rubs. We can walk the neighborhood, play fetch, or tug on some ropes to get some energy out.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I know every dog is unique and needs unique care. I want to make sure your dog is treated with care and understanding while you're away! I have experience giving oral medications (both pills and liquids).

I've known Melissa all her life. She is conscientious , caring and responsible. She has owned and still owns dogs and cats. She would be an excellent pet sitter and dog walker.

Melissa is a great pet parent and caregiver, having taken care of animals both old and young, including animals that require multiple types of medication and with special needs. She gets along with every animal I've seen her with, including my anxiety riddled dog (whom she has pilled and walked!)
