Super flexible, super caring!

Pet care experience

For much of my life, I‘ve had personal experience taking care of family dogs and cats. This includes senior dogs and cats as I have had those in my family as well! I would love to expand this experience more by helping pets in the community live their best lives. I do my utmost to treat all animals with the respect and care they deserve. I am also a fast learner and can adjust according to your pet’s personality / needs. I would be happy to provide play time, walks, feed them, watch them, and also clean up after them as needed. My schedule is also quite flexible and accommodating. Please reach out to me for any inquiries.

Melissa was great with Rosie! She asked lots of great questions to make sure she knew how to help Rosie be the most comfortable. Rosie spent her first night in her crate away from home with Melissa, and it went great! She also got plenty of exercise and came home happy.

Melissa was an amazing host for Nala who is 6 months old! Even took her to explore Discovery Park! Highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet lover who's had several pets in the past and has also taken care of pets for others, I do my best to make sure each pet is feeling comfortable and and happy under my care. I take owners' instructions very seriously and do my best to implement them for the pet so that they feel as comfortable around me as possible. My apartment also has top security, so if you're a cat owner and would like me to house your pet, I can guarantee their security.

A typical day

My apartment is super dog friendly and has pet amenities available for your dog, including a doggy park / potty area on the rooftop and a doggy wash area on the basement level! I also live right next to a park. I love taking dogs to these places and also just areas around my apartment within South Lake Union! I also can bring your dog to the Amazon doggy park, or any place you would like your dog to go!
