Puppy Paws 🐾

Pet care experience

I love nurturing and caring for dogs. I always look at a doggy and see is it happy & what does it need and make sure it has whatever it needs. I've spent numerous years loving and caring for my own as well as babysitting for my friends and family. I've also spent a number of years Foster caring so I learned about many types of dogs and all the different needs regarding breed as well as special needs sometimes having to administer medications etc. I also volunteered and helped with dogs that needed to be rehomed and special ones that were maybe having behavioral issues working with them to be rehabilitated and I had such great joy seeing them have the family they deserve in the end. I love walking dogs! I love cuddling dogs!I love big dogs! I love small dogs! dogs! I will love and protect your dog until he can be back with you 💖 I only will babysit one dog at a time to make sure that it gets my full resources and attention. I'm doing this for fun not for income.

Melissa is the best dog sitter I have ever used. She absolutely loves dogs and all the ones I seen her with, including mine, love her. She is very caring and attentive and her place is dog proofed. She also loves taking them on walks witch is very nice because I don't have a lot of time to do that myself and I don't have a very big yard. My dog is also crate trained but I don't have to take it over because she has multiple crates of all sizes. I am always able to reach her and if anything ever comes up she always calls me to let me know. I trust her to watch my dog over anyone else ( Even family) because she goes out of her way to follow anything I need for my boy.

Melissa is so nurturing and attentive to my dog when she babysits him. She just has this really good vibe and you can see it with the way she cares so much about your dog being okay and wanting to make sure she's doing everything okay and making him happy. Every time my dog spends time with her he's really excited to see her so it makes me feel really good when I leave him that I know he'll be happy and have a good time. I know she really loves to exercise and there's many times I've come and she's literally out walking with him. I absolutely love her and she is the only person I will let babysit my baby!

Safety, trust & environment

If I watch your doggy I will do what you instruct and as you instruct it because you are its parent. I do own crates and fences and anything like that so you wouldn't have to transport your own and always disinfect between sittings. I love to go on long walks and hikes regularly, so I can do walks as needed and as long as you would like. Anything from 20 minutes to miles depending on what the need is of your dog.
