Local pet lover w/ flex schedule
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Melissa. I am currently a graduate student here in Buffalo. I have cared for others’ pets on and off for two years and really loved it! I am excited about the flexibility in my schedule and can provide your pet with all the attention and exercise needed while you’re away at work. I am also available to care for your pets for extended days when you are away on vacations, business trips, or emergencies.I believe that pets bring out the very best in us and I would love the opportunity to get to know some of the amazing pets and pet owners of Buffalo. I have experience with puppies (high energy/exercise) and older dogs that are a bit more slow and need extra care. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or inquires! - Melissa
Reviews
Melissa was great with my dog Tobi! My dog tends to be wary of people initially, but Melissa was able to get him to warm up to her easily! She sent pictures and updates as well. Highly recommend.
Melissa is one of the sweetest people I've ever worked with. When I've gone out of town in the past she's been the first person I ask to watch my pets. Because of her dependable nature and caring personality she would be a wonderful dog sitter.
Melissa watched my cat named Shea and I was so happy with the experience. She sent photos daily and it was nice to my cat comfortable and receiving attention.
Melissa has been amazing for me and my husband. We have a chocolate lab named Henry and both my dog and my husband hate it when we leave him in the care of someone else. The dog is everything him. It's only when Melissa is in town and available that we can really have a weekend away without either worrying. Henry gets along with Melissa very well. We've hired her a number of times and we've never had an issue. She has such a delightful personality that makes it easy to be comfortable around. We thoroughly recommend her and always look forward to her service.
About Melissa D.
Skills
Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any allergies? Are there any preexisting medical injuries or conditions I should be aware of? Do you have any concerns around giving your dog a small doggie treat occasionally? Are there any smells, noises, or objects that cause your dog to feel anxious or overly excited (bikes, cars, thunder, etc)?
A typical day
Dogs will enjoy the local dog park very close to my apartment where they can socialize with other dogs. I also offer individual services/activities if your dog prefers to not interact with other dogs during play or on walks.
