Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs my whole life. Small dogs and large dogs, some say I'm like my dad and grandma having a special talent to connect with animals, specifically dogs. I have done various types of dog caretaking, from staying in the owners home while they are away, taking dogs on walks and care for them in my own home. Being patient and matching a dogs energy is one of my skills in supporting all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I have a small dog myself who is very friendly and gets along with all dogs. I look forward to meeting your loving little fur babies and helping provide love to them when you are away.

Melissa was very responsive and caring for our pup! Peace of mind that our lil guy is with Melisa! She provided regular updates and feedback and took very well care of our pup! Would totally recommend her to my family and friends for their pet sittings.

Melissa is a true dog whisperer! She is loving and kind and my pup had the best day with her. I highly recommend her.
