Loving Cat Mom & Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I'm a lifetime animal lover. At parties, I easily make friends with any furry creatures before the humans in attendance. My household was cat-only growing up (with the exception of one domesticated pet rat named Flip), but I've always been a huge dog lover as well. I have a lifetime of experience caring for cats (I currently have 2 of my own who I love to pieces) and about 12 years off and on caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, co-workers, & previous childcare clients. I went back to the full-time workforce recently, so sadly I am no longer accepting house-sitting or new walking clients. I'm happy to drop-in in the evenings or on weekends for your fuzzy loved one if my schedule permits! Please don't hesitate to reach out and check! I'll get back to you outside of the normal weekday work hours of 8 AM - 5 PM I would love the chance to cuddle, pamper, play, and spend some quality time with your pet!

About Melissa F.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have an easygoing energy that animals (especially cats) seem to love. At heart, I'm an introvert and a homebody whose favorite activity is to chill on the couch and cuddle with the animals in the home. I try my best to keep their schedule as normal as possible while you are away. I grew up providing child and pet care for law enforcement officers, so I'm extremely attentive to the security of your home and pet(s).
Information Melissa F. would like to know about your pet
What is their favorite activity? How well behaved are they on a leash? Do they have a favorite route or place to walk? Are there any triggers/distractions I should avoid while walking or caring for them? Are they friendly with other dogs and/or people while on a walk?
A typical day
I am a sucker for cuddles with dogs & cats, long walks around the neighborhood or nearby trail, a laser pointer master, and am always up for a rousing game of Frisbee or fetch.

Availability
I currently work full-time with a commute into the office, so I am only available in the evenings unless your house happens to be on my way to work. I'm always happy to check and try to make something work if I can!
