Gardenista with Corgi,Cat,&Chickens

Pet care experience

I have a 12 year old corgi, two indoor cats, 8 chickens (in an outdoor coop), 7 quail (in an outdoor coop), and live on a hilly area that is mostly fenced in (a determined animal could escape if not watched). There is plenty of running around room in the yard, many trees and shrubs to smell. I am a local microgreen farmer, and am home during the day, tending my plants and small business. My husband and I own Quantum Microgreens, a small urban microgreen farm after 10 years practicing law. I spend my days with my hands in the soil, and enjoying my dog, cat, chickens, quail (and even my worms in the worm bin). I share my pets with my husband, who also works from home. I love dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. I'm available to tend all such pets-- even chickens! (Though I am not quite ready to tend snakes...) My home is modest sized, with one bedroom, hardwood floors, and open concept living/kitchen. Thanks for your consideration.

Melissa would be my #1 choice for a pet sitter. She is so attentive to her animals (corgi, cat, chickens, and quail) and gives them the utmost love and care. Every cat and dog that Melissa meets will get a cheerful greeting and petting--they all love her. On walks, Melissa will be present and committed to your dog. I highly recommend her.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

All dogs coming into my home must not be the type to chase or harm cats or other dogs. Older dogs are a plus, as my dog is 10 years old. Also, dogs should not be the type that bolt or run away from people. Trained dogs are a plus.

A typical day

Walks around our neighborhood, with a lot of supervised outdoor time in our yard. My dog mostly ignores other dogs and my cat likes to spend his time outside, under my house or catching lizards in the yard.
