Pet care experience

I am a dog lover , I have had the honor of being the mother of a beautiful minature pincher named Brooklyn a.k.a babygirl . She was in my life for eleven years . I lost her to diabetes . She was the love of my life . She showed me true unconditional love. Her passing was one of the hardest periods in my life. Recently on July 5, 2016 I decided after 4 long years to adopt a recuse dog. A Beagle/Bassett hound . I named him Pacino . After my favorite actor Al Pacinco. He is now Four years old and has brought light back into my life . I love getting to know him better. Everyday is an adventure.His quirky expressions, outgoing attitude, loving personally puts a smile on my face . He is an amazing addition to my family. He truly warms my heart. I know how to administer medications, I have patience ,so I love teaching dogs how to do tricks no matter what their age. I can administer both oral and injected meds due to the history with my min pins diabetes. My husband calls me Snow White because stray animals just flock to me. I am home full-time and available 24/7 for your pets needs ..

I've used Melissa a couple times and she's been a pleasure every time. My cats enjoy her company. She also goes out of her way to bring in packages or mail, so I don't have to worry about it being left out, while out of town!

Melissa was awesome! She was very attentive to my 2 cats. She made sure to check on them and photographed everything she did too so I would know. She played with them and cleaned the litter boxes. She knew exactly how to take care of them and would trust her again to take care of them.

Melissa is amazing. We had a meet and greet before the actual visit just so my doggies can meet her. After that our booking went smoothly with many pictures :) I did have to change the hours I originally set for and she was accommodating enough to switch it for us. I can’t thank you enough we will for sure see you soon!

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know their temperament , and if they have ever bitten anybody before. I have no breed preference I will need to know any special care instructions, allergies, or medical precautions to keep as my priority when caring for your pet, all so your pets feeding schedule and sleeping schedule to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

If owner allows I will take dog for a walk on the beach. I LOVE the beach and hope to take your fur baby for a fun day in the sun and sand. The best Fl has to offer.
