Will love them like they are my own

Pet care experience

For as long as I can remember I feel as though I can relate with animals more than I can with people. Growing up with dogs and being a product of a woman who is the most passionate animal lover I've ever known is where I get my appreciation for four-legged lovers. I have a lot of experience when I was in San Diego taking care of pets, many of those relationships I still keep to this day. I always saw it as an opportunity for me to get some exercise and get my sticks of some unconditional love. Currently not at a point where I could financially be responsible for one on my own, as a full-time student an employee as well as the lack of outdoor space is what has kept me from having one of my own. I am confident with a variety of temperaments, and needs. Also I am comfortable around horses and exercising them and enjoy working with ranch animals. Something about getting your hands in the mud is so rewarding.

Melissa has the biggest heart for animals of anyone I know. She is not someone who shows up for 5 minutes a day. She’s watched my cats and home many times and it’s so nice to know that they are not just being taken care of, but loved, while I’m away. She always goes above and beyond.

Melissa is amazing!! Our puppies loved her from the minute they met. She took such great care of them as well as the house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She’s truly a gem!!

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Behaviors such as whether or not they are social around humans and other animals (including the neighborhood deer) stubborn loyal care takers. If they tend to have leash aggression at certain times, whether or not they are trusted to be off leash in time with relationship. What their diet consists of and what to avoid. And of course will they love me?

A typical day

There is nothing like having a little companion by your side whether its walking around the neighborhood or putting them in the backseat of my truck to explore some more wild and quiet places near town. Depending on the their activity level and leash behavior the world is our oyster. If at times when school is keeping me busy, the dog park by carroll is always a fun social area for me as well as the pup.

I am in school full time however it would be rewarding for me spiritually and physically to be forced to have that break that is needed. I am flexible during the week with that said. I am a fairly active person and it would be a pleasure to have a companion.
