Hi! Looking for fur connections 💙

Pet care experience

I have 3-4 days a week dedicated to helping out with pets that need extra exercise and attention . I also have a flexible work schedule ,if given enough advance notice . Besides work I am completely dedicate to spending time with your pets . I’ve had some kind of pet since I was 6 years old (now 39) . At the moment I do not have any, but i do have the time to spend quality time with yours , I love bonding with their personalities , I want to gain their trust . I take the lead and create safe fun spaces so they respond better to any redirection . I Can also water plants :) , grab mail , etc and give medications.

Melissa is the best! She's so wonderful with our dog Hooper and she shared so many great photos of him while we were on our trip. It's easy to coordinate with her, she's a great communicator, and we trust her completely with our sweet pup and our home. We highly recommend Melissa!

Melissa took such great care of our 2 dogs and cat. She really is comfortable with animals and reading their signs and she quickly took control of our rambunctious dogs. Our family was able to relax and enjoy our vacation because we received updates and cute pictures and we knew they were being loved. On our return, they seemed calm and content. The house was clean and welcoming. I highly recommend her services if you are looking for a caring, confident and professional pet sitter.

Melissa is great!! She stayed at my house for a long weekend and watched my two dogs. When she came to do the meet-and-greet, I could already tell she would be a good fit-- my dogs loved her and listened to her. While I was gone I received daily updates about the dogs, and my house looked clean and well taken care of while I was gone. I will definitely continue to use her as a pet sitter!
