Reliable pet sitter on North side

Pet care experience

I've had pets (dogs, cats, lizards and more!) my entire life and have had breeds of almost every size, from 10 to 95 pounds. Growing up, my parents and I fostered abandoned animals, and I'm familiar with many medical needs for pets (including injections, pills, and pups in cones!). I'm happy to provide shots, dispense pills, etc. with instructions from you. I'm familiar with many breeds, including Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and Dobermans and have no breed restrictions. I've also worked in rescue shelters, so I'm familiar with skittish pets. I work from home and am free almost every day of the week to walk, check in, or pet-sit your pets. I love cats and dogs equally, so your pets will be in good hands with me! If you're looking for someone relaxed, up for walks around the park (or hikes!) who is available almost 24/7 to pet-sit your furbaby, I'm a great match! My husband and I recently lost our dog to cancer, so I'm on Rover to bide my time until we get a house with a yard for a new dog! :) I would love to spoil and walk your baby with the same love and care we gave our beloved dog. If you are within 20 miles of Spokane, I do require a meet and greet just to make sure we're all the right fit.

Melissa did a great job with our three dogs and they loved her. She was very communicative and responsive throughout the booking process, as well as the actual stay itself. We will definitely be utilizing Melissa’s services in the future and highly recommend her to others!

Melissa was so great with our cat! We had a last minute booking and she was able to do drop in visits the next day while we were on vacation. So happy with her service. We will definitely hire her again in the future. Thank you again!

Melissa was great! She was prompt and was great with my puppy. They walked and played. You can tell that she really loves animals.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed restrictions (I've had Dobermans, Pit Bulls, and German Shepherds as pets throughout my life) but I would like to know: 1) What is your pet's temperament? 2) Does your dog like other dogs? Does your dog chase cats? 3) Does your pet sleep on your bed/are they allowed on furniture? (for overnight or drop in visits) 4) Is your pet food-motivated? (i.e. can you bribe them with snacks to behave?) Anything else you'd like to share about your pet(s)!

A typical day

When I pet-sit your pets, I'll take your dog(s) on walks around the park and, with approval from you, on car rides to go hiking when the weather is good! I'll also toss a frisbee, ball, or toys with your pets (cats like to play too!) and will get on the floor to play with your furbaby. I'll follow your dog's lead, but if they're up to play, so am I :)
