Disponibilité

Pet care is a meaningful and rewarding part of my weekly routine. Although I work full-time as an engineer during the weekdays, I have consistent availability in the evenings and on weekends to dedicate my time and attention to pets. Spending time with animals is not only something I enjoy, but it’s also a great way to unwind after a structured workday. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and giving each pet the affection and routine they’re used to. My flexible after-work hours and open weekends allow me to consistently provide quality care while maintaining a balanced schedule.

Sécurité, confiance et environnement

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are maintaining their normal routine, respecting the space, and ensuring the pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and walk times to any medication needs or favorite toys and activities. I aim to keep stress to a minimum by creating a calm, consistent environment. I also make sure to clean up after myself and the pet, leave things as I found them, and provide updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Ultimately, I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

Informations que Melissa C. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique

It’s very important for me to learn as much as I can about your pet before our time together so I can provide the best possible care. I always appreciate knowing: • Their daily routine (feeding times, walk schedules, bathroom habits) • Any health issues, medications, or allergies • Behavioral quirks (e.g., anxious around other dogs, fearful of loud noises, resource guarding) • Commands they know and how you typically give them • How they do on leash, with other pets, and with strangers • Favorite toys, treats, or calming activities • Any house rules you’d like me to follow (furniture, crate use, etc.) The more I know upfront, the more I can keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away!

Une journée type

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, that might mean long walks, fetch in the yard, tug-of-war, or fun brain games like treat puzzles. If your pup loves exploring, we’ll go on sniff-filled adventures around the neighborhood or to a nearby park (with your permission, of course!). For more laid-back pets or senior animals, I offer lots of cuddles, gentle play, and companionship. Cats get plenty of playtime too—with feather toys, laser pointers, or just a cozy lap to curl up on. Above all, I make sure every pet gets the attention, engagement, and love they need to feel happy while you’re away.

Melissa did great with a last-minute drop in visit request while we spent the day in NYC. Our doggies were walked, fed, and happy when we came home.

I have booked Melissa a few times over the last few years and she is amazing! She always goes above and beyond for my fur babies and me! She is truly a gem and 5 stars isn’t enough!

Melissa was fantastic, yet again! She ensured our cats were well taken care of while we were out of town, and she always made sure to send us photos every visit. Highly recommend booking her!!
