Animal LOVER, love them all as my o

Pet care experience

I have owned a variety of different dogs and cats my whole life. I am self-employed house cleaner and have open availability and flexibility to walk and play with your dog whether they are in my home or yours. I'm highly interactive with dogs, I'm totally that person who is hanging with the dog at any type of get together!! I treat my pup as family as I would yours. Always talking to them as if they are human, greeting them first upon arrival and always a 2-5 minute goodbye with lots of love, explaining where and when I will be back and of course goodbye treats to avoid the guilty puppy dog eyes when finally walking out the door! I am great with dogs with special needs and separation anxiety. I can administer oral medications. I have a friendly service dog trained Yorkie Dachund mix who is a wonderful companion to keep your dog company as well. We have a beautiful home on a lake, but I especially enjoy pet sitting your pet at your home where your dog or cat will be most comfortable. Let's set up a time for me to meet you and your wonderful animal. I am happy to give your friendly dog a bath and am even available for housecleaning if you want your home or yard tidied up while you are away.

It was wonderful to have Melissa stay at my home with my senior dog, Jazzy, who needs medications twice daily. Melissa shared photos of Jazzy on walks, in the yard, sleeping, and playing with her toys. Melissa texted with questions and updates. Knowing Jazzy was happy and being cared for made it easy for me to enjoy my trip without worrying! I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa was a lifesaver for us when we had to go out of town for several days, and needed someone to look after or two cats. She ensured that they were properly fed, that their toys got refilled with treats so that they wouldn't get bored, and that their litter box areas were kept clean. She went out of her way to make sure that their needs were met while we were away. We will definitely be calling Melissa again the next time we need a sitter for our two cats.

I've known Melissa since she was a young girl. She's always loved dogs and has taken very good care of them. She is a friend of my son's and when he's busy she has taken his dogs swimming. Very nice and conscientious young lady. She will make a great dog caregiver. Sincerely, Connie Hanson Augusta, Maine
