Dog lover in the heart of Chicago!
Pet care experience
Rescue momma to a beautiful Husky mix. She is my first dog all by myself but I grew up with Labs all my life and I’m a general animal lover! I get along with all dogs/animals so I can’t wait to meet more wonderful pets! I’m a full time student looking to spend some time with other dogs during my freetime. Does your fur baby need someone to play with, walk or just general check in? I’m your gal! Chicago is filled with beautiful parks to go walking in and I’ll be glad to watch your dog while exploring this great city! If walking large to extra large dogs I do ask they are leash trained. Thank you and looking forward to meeting your dogs! Can administer oral medication.
Reviews
Melissa was great! Good communicator and felt very comfortable having her watch over my cat Luna :)
Melissa was a great choice for drop-in visits with our cat. Friendly, attentive, detailed and timely communication, and a welcome companion for our cat while we were away. Recommended for drop-in visits!
Melissa was a great cat sitter! She was communicative before and during my trip, and sent cute photos and clear updates on behavior. She was also very flexible with me to find a time to return my keys. Thanks, Melissa!
Everything went perfectly and my sweet, sweet Jude was cared for to the extreme.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority at my house and when visiting others. We have a few dog gates to separate living spaces if needed and I am well versed in getting in and out of spaces with an escape artist watching.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet
Is the dog or cat a known escape artist? How are they on the leash? Do they tend to play tug with the leash or pull a lot on walks? For cat visits are the social? Should I try and get them actively out and trying to eat or do they just need a check up and to leave them to themselves while visiting?
A typical day
Play time or engaging walks are alway a must in our house hold. My dog loves to walks along the lake and take in all the smells which is great to engage their minds as they walk out some energy at the same time
