I’LL LOVE YOUR PET LIKE YOU DO!!!

Pet care experience

I have pet sat for friends and family for years and have always enjoyed other’s animals and taking care of them like they were my own. I offer dog walking, checking in on/playing with your animals while you are at work or away. I also will stay at your home with them while you are on vacation. I have references if requested. I am someone who gives my own pets lots of attention and so I do the same for your pets! I have been a pet owner for my whole life- currently I own a Shih-tzu named Wynnie who is 1.5 years old and spoiled rotten! She really is my and my husband’s child. Animals are very therapeutic to me so I don’t view this as a job it’s more like a hobby!

Melissa did a great job for me! She is very responsive to messages and was great with my dogs. I will definitely use her again.

Melissa was fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. My babies got extra special love and attention. I would recommend her to anyone who hates leaving their babies bacause, you are worried that they won’t receive the same level of care that you provide. You will enjoy your time away without the worry of leaving your pups at home!

I’ve known Melissa for years and she has been a very dependable person. She absolutely LOVES animals and takes such good care of them, like they are her own children! She even feeds her own dog the best raw food and treats her like a princess! She is a loving person and I would never ever hesitate to have her in my home because she is a good Christian woman. You’re in good hands with Melissa!!

Melissa loves dogs! Her care for puppies & dogs is the best. Because she is responsible & trustworthy, you can count on her. I trust her in my home and to provide loving care for our pups. Highly recommend Melissa!

My dog is used to getting tons of attention on a daily basis, and frankly, I think she’s happy when I share that attention with other pets too! I’m very passionate about animals and caring for them, and love to find new ways to show that passion!

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any specific needs and what their typical routine is. What makes them happy? What are their favorite toys and games?

A typical day

I really love walking in the park and playing with them and their toys. I like Geitner Park, Baker’s Mountain, just to name a couple.
