Safety, trust & environment

I have worked in a doggy daycare so I have experience with several breeds and situations. How you want your pet cared for is how I will care for them. I'm an "animal spoiler" they deserve to be spoiled since all they do is LOVE us, it's the least we can do. There is no shortage of love and attentiveness with animals when it comes to me.

Information Melissa E. would like to know about your pet

Obviously the more forthcoming people are with their pets the better things work out. My dog is filled with anxiety and terrified of strangers.. telling people these things, even if you think they are little.. are so important! I will follow every rule / guideline you give even if you think it's a little crazy.. I'm that pet parent, I feel like I sound nuts telling people some requirements but.. they are animals.. and very individual. Let me know what I need to know to provide the best care... and not get eaten!! lol

A typical day

Activities in general, would be geared towards immediate surroundings, owner request, and being within walking distance. If you want your pup played with.. I'm all over it .. show me the toys!

Pets

Love for animals never ends

Pet care experience

Animals are such an extension of family and should be treated as such. I've had dogs and other animals through the years and provided general care & SO much love. I'm open to special needs animals whether medications or other, I'll learn anything to help care for an animal.

I can honestly say that not even the Irwin family loves dogs as much as Melissa does. I have known her for over 11 years and every animal she has taken in has been given the best life, the most love, and they get her undivided attention when she is not working with me. She is attentive and caring. She is never late. I could not think of a better person to be a dog walker.

If you are considering hiring a pet sitter, I would highly reccomend Melissa. She is prompt, reliable, dependable, responsible, and professional. Melissa goes above and beyond with everything she does. She also has a unique connection with animals of any size, age, and breed. Animals tend to gravitate towards her and feed off of her loving and calming demeanor. There is no doubt in my mind that she will provide exceptional care/service for you and your furry friend(s). She is a huge animal lover and it shows from the very start. Melissa will treat your home and furry friend(s) like her own! I highly reccomend her, nothing but glowing reviews from me.
