Ready for walks and cuddles!
Pet care experience
Hi there, My name is Melissa and I work from home which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. l am a very active person who absolutely loves all sorts of fur babies, especially dogs and cats. I enjoy having the ability to interact with them on a daily basis. I currently have one fur baby of my own, Roxy (13 yo Jack Russell), but I have been around all types of animals since I was little, and I can't imagine my life without them. I would love to include more animals in my life by helping you take care of yours from drop-in visits, dog walking and more! I believe in positive reinforcement training versus negative reinforcement, which supports an animal’s overall well being. My goal is to make sure that your dog is fully sated from our walk so that when you get home you have a relaxed doggie! Having had more than one dog of my own in the past I am experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time, so if you have 2 or more dogs that need daily walks I am up for it! Also, if your pet just needs a cuddle and some caring for during the day I am happy to drop in visit on them and spend some time with them! I hope you’ll consider me for your pet care needs. I promise to treat your fur baby as if it were my own! Looking forward to working with you and your fur babies.
Reviews
Arwen loves her visits with Melissa Melissa maintains a great schedule and provides great feedback .
Melissa is great... takes such good care and Arwen enjoys her visits
Melissa was such a lifesaver! She helped us super last minute when a previous sitter fell through right before we left for a family reunion, and we couldn’t be more grateful she was there! Super flexible and communicative, Melissa took lots of adorable pictures and left detailed updates of each visit. And she was super sweet with our fur babies and loved on them so much! 100/10, will absolutely recommend and hire for her again! Thank you so so much Melissa!
Melissa was great with our doggy! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on her drop-ins :) Would definitely recommend and will be using her again

I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own pet with respect and gentle care. I also will respect your household and leave it in the condition it was in when I arrived.
Information Melissa A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any specific needs or concerns your pets may have. I’m experienced with giving different types of medications if needed. Also, I have taken care of elderly pets throughout the years and am comfortable with those pets that are on the shy side.
A typical day
A typical day with your pet would be spent exploring around your neighborhood looking for fun things to see and sniff. Parks and walking trails are always fun places to go too. If we’re hanging at your house a good game of fetch or some much needed cuddles are always on the agenda.
