Dog & cat lover/speech therapist

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melissa, I’m 29 years old and a speech therapist. I am currently accepting any jobs after 3:30pm on weekdays since I work in public schools. I have been dog sitting & walking for about 10 years. I also take care of cats! I used to volunteer feeding feral cats. I have experience with giving dogs pills and eye drops as my dog needed them. Thank you for your time! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. End of June I will have more availability to take care of your pets!

We are very happy with Melissa. She cared for Charlie while we were gone and he was so happy when we got home.

Melissa provided outstanding house sitting care to my two challenging dogs. One is blind and fearful. The second is 16 and exhibiting many age related challenges. Melissa is flexible, conscientious & caring and willing to go above and beyond. I highly recommend Melissa for your dog care!

Melissa was super friendly and professional. We booked last minute and she made her way through traffic for us.

Since I’ve been dog sitting personally and with a company, I’ve learned to make sure doors are always locked and that nothing is out that the dogs or cats will get into.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know before hand if the dog is potty trained and anything else you feel is important for me to know.

A typical day

If the owner has any preferences of where they would like me to walk their dog let me know! Sometimes I will walk over the 30 minutes.
