your pet's second best friend
Pet care experience
I grew up with a pug named Bodi whom my family got as a puppy when I was 6. I watched my neighbors' dogs for years as I grew up, I loved going to spend time with the animals, feeding them and taking them on walks, playing or changing the litterbox. I volunteered on a farm with all sorts of animals for 5 years. I now have my cat, Goose, who I adopted 2 years ago.
About Melissa C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very good at adapting to the animal's needs/routine, from their walks, diets, playtimes, medications, etc. I have experience with administering medicine to animals and special needs pets. I am not one to just stop by, drop food and leave, but I like to make sure the animal knows it's safe, assuming they are comfortable. whether it's playing together or just hanging out, I strive to make pets feel safe and happy!
Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet
health issues, likes&dislikes, what makes them nervous or scared so I know what to avoid or how best to prepare, behavior with other animals, favorite treats, and the best ways to make your pet comfortable with new people like myself!
A typical day
I am very flexible and can adapt to the pet's needs and personality. Whether they are very active and playful or more of a couch potato, I will put forth my best effort to make sure they are doing what they love most
Services
Melissa can watch in your home
Availability
I work as an accountant in a hybrid setting and it is pretty flexible. I can step out and away as needed since it's not a strict 9-5!
