I have worked as a veterinary assist and pet sitter for 21 years, so needless to say I have the experience. You can rest easy knowing they will be in good hands. I have many excellent references of pet owners whose pets I watch freq/recently that I can give you. While on your vacation I send updates as well as pictures so you are aware of how your pet is doing, usually through text messages or email. I am very reliable and trustworthy and your pets well being is my top priority! I walk the dogs as many times as you'd like and whenever you'd like. Due to a move and smaller living arrangements I can only host cats or dogs under 50 lbs. I can take care of any size pet if you need me to come to your home. Please feel free to contact me anytime & we can discuss the details further & set up a time to meet. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Melissa About this sitter: Hello, my name is Melissa and I have 21 years experience working and living with pets. I have a 17 yr old son and a 8 yr. old daughter. We moved to beautiful Clearwater Fl. In 2010. In 2018 we moved back home to southern Indiana to be closer to family. I treat your dog (s) like my own & you can rest easy knowing they'll be in good hands with me. I have exp working with older pets, pets that need medications and/or injections, separation anxiety, etc.. Why I love dog sitting I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Pets are your friend no matter what. They are so loyal and loving. I started working at a veterinary clinic in the late 90's and have worked at other animal hospitals as well as a pet store and grooming salon up until I had my daughter. I decided to pet sit instead of returning to work so I could stay home with her. Watching pets is such a joy and I'm so happy and grateful to be able to do what I love to do. I have a lot of regular client friends so I'm fortunate to be able to watch a lot of the same dogs often! About my yard: We do not have a fenced in yard but we have a beautiful yard, woods, stream & I leash walk them several times a day. My experience administering medication I am very confident and experienced in my ability to administer medications by mouth or injections. I have worked in veterinary clinics for 15 yrs so I am very comfortable and qualified.
