Availability
I am currently in a career transition post my PhD in Bioengineering, and mainly at home spending time on remote work, applications, and walking our dog, Mozzi. This transition period provides a lot of free time, close eye, and dedication needed for pet care.

About Melissa F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure pets are cared for by keeping a well kept home that the dog/cat cannot access anything that could put them in harm’s way (such as excess treats, unhealthy food). There are cleaning and safety supplies readily available if there is an accident. I am an extrovert & avid communicator, requesting former individualized instructions from pet owners, asking questions if anything unusual arises, and keeping owners in the loop to put them at ease. Additionally, I do not have pets of my own currently, but to provide a safe environment, I will always ask owner’s preferences on socializing their dog/cat during walks, down time, etc. to get to know the pet’s behaviors more and instill trust I will care for them respecting owner’s insights and the pet’s comforts/personality. The apartment has indoor room for a pet, and the area has plenty of trails to explore and provide exciting, safe walking adventures!

Pet care experience
I have taken care of friends’ dogs throughout my graduate school, with watching dogs up to 3wks at a time providing ample walks, belly rubs, play time, baths, and comfort during their stay while balancing a busy schedule. Since finishing up school and starting career in the research sector, I have moved to SoCal with my boyfriend and our 1yr puppy (black lab + chihuahua mix). Now in a career transition, I have even more flexibility to ensure your pet is cared for like they are my own.
Reviews
Melissa is an animal lover, caring human being, and responsible adult who you can trust with any animal. She has taken care of my cats and many of my friends dogs. She is great with animals, and a hard worker
Melissa is a responsible, receptive, and compassionate dog walker/sitter. On multiple occasions she has walked and/or dog sat for my 1.5 year old high-energy lab mix. Melissa handles him carefully and is able to easily redirect him. She has helped with his training and ensuring he listens during outings. She often has taken my dog to socialize with other dogs, people, and children. My Dog runs with excitement each time Melissa comes to take care of her and clearly they have built a very special bond! Highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs!
