Pet care experience

I love animals and by animals I mean I love ALL dogs. My first dog was a black lab. I was three years old. There was no turning back. I am a responsible, caring and sensitive host and my one-bedroom apartment is spacious and quiet, just the perfect fit for your dog. About this sitter: I have always loved dogs and always stop on the street to pet them. I think this is normal. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with animals my whole life. My first dog was a huge black lab named , Lady. I have dog sat for friends before and I feel really comfortable around small and large dogs. Meet my pets I live in a one-bedroom apartment located on the upper west side of Manhattan. There are numerous parks and grocery stores in the neighborhood. There are also several vets and emergency vets in the neighborhood. My building is quiet and dog-friendly. I love cooking at home and curling up with a good movie or book! About my yard I don't have a backyard but there are dozen's of parks within walking distance of my neighborhood. My experience administering medication I am completely comfortable administering medicine.

Melissa was a wonderful host! I really appreciated how quickly she responded to every communication we had. She went above and beyond to make my baby Maple happy. I would most certainly contact her again if we need a sitter! Thank you Melissa!

Melissa is my go to sitter and for good reasons. Very caring and supportive for my pit justice every time I have to go out of town. I had some personal issues arrive last minute before I got back In town and she was super understanding of the situation. Extremely caring for my dog, constant updates and always excellent communication !! If your looking for a great sitter for your pet look no further Melissa is the sitter you should definitely go with. I’ve used her for 4 different trips and every single one I got the same excellent service ! My go to sitter anytime I have to leave town !

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

I love labs (who doesn't?!), bulldogs and pugs but I really don't have any breeds that I prefer!

A typical day

I live near some of the most beautiful and scenic parts of New York City. The Fort Tryon Park and the Fort Washington parks are really great. Fort Tryon has a dog run, complete with a gazebo for dog owners to sit as as well as two playgrounds. Your dog's sleeping arrangement My dog has many options of where to sleep. In my living room on the floor, on the couch, in the foyer area or in my bedroom. I have several blankets and pillows for additional comfort. I work full time and plan on spending at least an hour or two in the morning with my dog and then unlimited hours after work! I am also a runner and would love to try running with my dog some mornings, depending on the capability.
