Pet care experience
Hi! Thank you for stopping by my page to consider me for your pet care needs! I am an animal lover of all kinds, and have always had dogs and cats in my own home! I'm used to providing care for my current dog, which includes baths, grooming, daily walks, rubs, and play sessions, eye drop instilling, and hiding medications in peanut butter! I have recent experience with fostering dogs as well as litters of puppies until they were adopted by their forever families, so I am comfortable with big and small, young and old dogs! I am a recent college graduate, and so was living without pets for a few years. I am really missing some quality time with dogs, and therefore, am enthusiastic to dedicate my time and energy to your pup! I am now a night shift nurse with flexible daytime hours! If you have extra pets, I have no problems with providing a little extra care for your other pets, too! Message me with any questions you have; I look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
I was traveling in another country and needed to find someone to help me out with my cats asap as my other sitter had to leave for a trip and Melissa accepted my request right away. Great communication, she sent detailed updates and photos of my cats and everything went well. I came back home to happy cats. Thank you so much Melissa. I will definitely book again.
Thank you Melissa for taking such great care of our cats!
Melissa was fabulous! She stopped in our two cats and provided great photos! Thank you, Melissa, for loving on Lux and Pic!
Melissa is so awesome. She does drop-in visits with our cat when we are out of town, and she takes such good care of him. And he loves her! She always sends a full report each time she drops by, sending lots of photos and letting us know if anything seems off with him. She also spends time petting and playing with him. We really appreciate Melissa and enjoy working with her on a continuous basis.

Safety, trust & environment
My current apartment does not allow me to board dogs at this time. Whenever I am in a client’s home however, I always am sure to lock doors immediately behind me, to make sure your home, and pets are always safe. I always review house rules, and care tips before entering any home, so you can expect your home to be in the exact condition it was in when you left!
Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any aggressive reactions to other animals, or other situations, so I can avoid them, and keep your pet safe!
A typical day
I will take your pup on a walk around the neighborhood, allowing them to get all of their energy out! I bring treats with me for food-motivated pups (if that’s ok with their ‘pawents’), as well as practice and reward your pooch when they’re walking attentively with me! I always take the scenic route, and allow dogs’ to sniff around and take their time on their walk!
