Animal Lover + Flexible Schedule

Pet care experience

I am a college student with the entire summer free. More importantly, I'm not only a dog lover, but also a cat lover! Animals always seem to like me, and I am very gentle and loving towards them. I like to be outside, and have no problem taking trips to the dog park! I've watched many neighbor/friend's dogs throughout the 8 years I've spent here. I never have had a bad experience while pet sitting!

Melissa is a wonderful doggie caregiver! She will always be the first person I call when my pups need someone to watch over them. She is extremely reliable and has a very down to earth personality. I can always trust her to take care of my pups and treat them as her own!

A typical day

I can only have 1 mild-tempered dog staying at my house at a time. I have an older dog and a cat who have gotten used to living with each other, but do not do well around other animals. They are not violent towards other animals, but develop terrible anxiety around other pets and I don't like to put them through that. If I am home, then the dog will be cared for and receiving lots of positive attention. However, when I am away from home I will need for the dog to be in a crate for the safety of my own personal pets. I'm very calm and never treat animals in an aggressive manner. I will treat your pet with respect and care for them just as well as you do! I know how sad a pet can be when their family goes out of town without them, so I always do my best to deliver a fun and loving experience for them. I know all the great dog-friendly places in the Charlotte area, but also can provide a fun time right in the backyard!
