Loving animals keep me going!
Pet care experience
I’ve watched my friends dogs and cats to neighbors but I’ve also worked in a dog boarding canine campus. There I did anything from meeting their dietary needs, maintaining a clean living area, to giving out proper medications like pills or insulin. I have also watched over 10+ dogs at a single time so no matter how many animals you have I can handle it! I’m very patient when it comes to meeting your pet. I’m not easily scared if met with aggression as I know they may just be a little nervous and will eventually warm up to me. Whether you have a Great Dane or Chihuahua it doesn’t matter I have worked with them all and love each and every one as if they were my own! I’m a 25 year old who likes a little exercise so what better way is there than to go out to the park or on a walk and play with them to release all that energy they rack up throughout the day. Cats are not a problem for me either as I have 2 of my own who are big love bugs. If taking out your little fur friend isn’t an option that’s not a problem! I can do a quick check in to make sure they have everything they need or stay for a bit to socialize with them.
Reviews
Melissa always hooks up our Tavia!
Melissa was very helpful and accommodating! My puppy loved her, I can tell a she is looking for her behind me when I come in !
Went above and beyond what is expected of her. I was definitely able to tell scrappy enjoyed her being with him when I was gone.. would definitely recommend to anyone. Really good with sending updates, also very friendly.
I believe Melissa would be a great pet sitter for Rover. She is hard working and has a lot of experience working with animals. Melissa has a caring heart and has two rescue dogs because of that. While we were out of town, Melissa dog sat my Labradoodle and did an amazing job. Everything we asked for was taken care of and my pup loved her. We would definitely trust her to take care of our dog again!

I am not currently caring for dogs in my home at the moment but that could potentially change in the future. For now I can come to you to meet you’re animals needs.
Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet
Do they get nervous or scared with certain things. Do they need any special attention or is there anything specific you would like me to know ahead of time
A typical day
Whether it’s the park or just around the block I can walk them wherever they desire. Running can also be in the mix or playing indoors if that is what is preferred.

I’m a flight attendant and use this as my side job! It’s something that I can work into my schedule yet something that I absolutely love doing.
