Pet care experience

Animal Lover with A Lot of Love

I'm a special education teacher who has lots of experience taking care of others. My patience is very high and I have a high need to take care of things. I've owned a dog that I loved. Taking him for walks was one of my favorite things to do with him. Taking him out to do his business, no matter the weather, never bothered me. We would have fun going to parks where we would play fetch and where he could run around. I'm willing to stay at homes to take care of your pet if you feel more comfortable with that than your pet staying in my home. I have a lot of love to give and, if you'll let me, I would love for you to allow me to lavish your pet with that love.

Melissa was amazing. My dog is energetic and a bit spoiled. Melissa dealt with both of us like a pro! My dog was more than well cared for and was her happy self when I picked her up. No cold tail. I will definitely board my dog with Melissa again.

Melissa cared for our small dog for two nights. Before she stayed, we hired her for two day walks to help our dog get to know her and vice versa. This was a good plan and she quickly learned how to work his unusual over-the-nose leash. The only concern was a long gap of time on the first night of the overlap for arrival at our place but everything worked out. Melissa sent a few photos during her stay and I would trust her again in our home. She was communicative and professional. Thank you!

Melissa was wonderful with our cat. He was content and well cared for. She took meticulous care of the house also. Communication with her was exceptional! I will absolutely ask Melissa to watch Mazzy again the next time we go out of town.
