Pet care experience
I'm a huge animal lover and have extensive experience with pets, both in my professionally & in my personal life. I worked at PetSmart for 3 years in the PetHotel, supervising doggy daycare and boarding. I've handled dogs from 5 lb Chihuahuas to 100+ lb St. Bernards, with dogs who are social and outgoing to dogs who are uneasy or fearful of strangers. I completed the Pet Saver Pet CPR, First Aid, & Care course in 2017, so I have the skills to handle any medical emergency that may arise while watching your pet. I currently have 2 dogs at home- a rescued Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, and a Pit Bull. They are both extremely dog-friendly and frequently go to the Barkyard Dog Park in La Salle Park and play with other dogs. I grew up with dogs in my home & they hold a special place in my heart. I consider my dogs my "fur-babies" & spoil them with walks, toys, and the occasional treat, and I would love to treat your dog the same way!
Reviews
Melissa is beyond excellent. We have two Senior dogs or have their own health complications and Melissa did a wonderful job administering to them. We got regular updates and even pictures of our pooches while we were away. Alyssa made it possible for us to enjoy our family vacation without having to worry about our fur babies
Melissa did a wonderful job dog and house sitting for us. This was our first time leaving our two fur babies with someone other than immediate family and we couldn’t have been happier or more comfortable with Melissa.
Melissa was AWESOME! We did a meet and greet a few days before Ciara's stay and I've never felt more comfortable leaving my fur baby in someone's care. Melissa gave me updates & photos. She took Ciara on walks and treated her like she was part of the family. Melissa understands dog behavior, is very knowledgeable in dog care, and understands the human/canine bond. I couldn't have asked for a better in-home dog sitter. Ciara would love for her next vacation to be with Melissa!
Melissa watched my babies while I was out of town and did a great job. I highly recommend her
