Playing with dogs is my #1 hobby!
Pet care experience
My name is Melissa, I LOVE pet sitting. I have almost a lifetime of pet care experience and about 10 years of sitter experience. I have owned pets my entire life I have 3 dogs and 1 cat that live at my parents now. I believe a sitter should do more than just make sure your pets stay alive. I love to take them on walks and play with them and bathe them if necessary. I have always been an animal lover, I have been around them my entire life. I have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends since I was bout 14. Tasks included walking, playing, feeding, potting, giving medications, and of course the best part LOVING. I am very active and love going for walks and a furry friend makes those walks/runs even more enjoyable.
Reviews
Melissa was very kind, flexible, and accomodating! She took good care of my rather needy cat for me and was easy and pleasant to interact with.
Melissa was great! We appreciated her time and car with our puppy!
Melissa was so great with Rascal! She’s super accomodating and flexible and we felt confident Rascal was in good hands. She was very responsive and communicative and sent us photos during his stay. We will definitely book with her again if she will have us!
Melissa did another amazing job. She even went above and beyond and took them to the beach. We completely trust her and she is so friendly, honestly we can’t compliment her enough!
About Melissa A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m always very aware of our surrounding on walks and can react on my toes if your pup doesn’t seem to like others or is reactive. I’m also very mindful when opening and closing doors so nobody runs out.
Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet
Please share with me any medications or special diets that your dog has. Also if they have any kind of separation anxiety I should know about.
A typical day
While your fur baby is with me we will go on walks, go to the park, dog beach (weather permitting), playing in the yard. I live a very active lifestyle so when your dog is with me they will get plenty of exercise, but not to worry if your dog is a little on the lazy side I don't mind just cuddling.

Availability
I do work full time but it is a normal 9-5 so I will have plenty of time to be with your fur baby before and after.
