Pet care experience

Dog Mom, Foster & Animal Lover 🐾

I’m an experienced and devoted dog mom, foster parent, and shelter volunteer. I have hands-on experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and extremely safety-conscious. I’ll always treat your fur baby with the same love, care, and protection I give my own. 🐾❤️

Melissa is a great caregiver with dogs. She has her own dog that she loves very much. She goes the extra mile to take care of her dog by monitoring diet, going for walks and displaying genuine affection. Melissa also trained and took care of a foster dog for proper placement into a loving home. Melissa is an awesome caregiver of dogs and has proven herself to be able to properly care for dogs.

Schedule

Pet care is currently my full-time focus, easily fitting around my online classes and gym routine. Daily dog walks double as my cardio, with walks scheduled around Arizona’s heat for safety. I prefer dogs to have protective shoes for hot pavement and always prioritize their comfort, exercise, and routine. 🐾☀️

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a great neighborhood with a fully enclosed brick-walled backyard, providing a secure space for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. My home has plenty of toys, enrichment, and love thanks to my own dog, who is friendly with other dogs. If you prefer your fur baby to remain separate from my dog, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have several spare rooms and a home office, so I can provide your pet with their own safe, comfortable, quiet space while still giving them plenty of individual attention and companionship. I will always follow your pet’s routines, boundaries, feeding instructions, and safety preferences so they can feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾❤️
