I love dogs, they are amazing.

Pet care experience

I love to walk dogs, spoil them, snuggle with them. Make them feel at home. Give them the attention they need, make sure I’m on top of potty breaks. Even take them on car rides if they them. I will show them love and attention. I grew up with dogs my whole life and owned my own dog for 10 years. Until she passed away from cancer.. I grew up always loving dogs. I am available Monday through Friday after 530 pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible with your schedule and would Love to work around your schedule to help you out. I am flexible when it comes to last minutes arrangements. Please consider my services with all your pets needs.

Melissa was wonderful and our two senior boxers loved her! We were attending a wedding in Santa Barbara and she watched the dogs in our hotel room while we were at the event. She was professional and responsible from our very first contact with her. She went out of her way to be accommodating to us and our dogs and kept us posted with pictures and texts while we were gone. Great sitter!

Wow this I'd absolutely awesome for all people and pooches involved what a good program. I myself am a animal lover I have a Bengal cat a rat and used to work as a dog behavioralist and Melissa is very compassionate and enlightened Everytime I have seen her around any animal for that matter she is dfntly the kind of person that has empathy and mercy in her heart when I see her want to take in every abandoned animal she comes across it's obviously in her nature to befriend them as we all should. It stimulated all involved, mind And activity in the brain that animals make most people feel joy and for that moment the 2 are bonding share that special connection she's very genuine if a person and has a very kind heart she would be absolutely amazing with whatever she'would be doing there . She's a smazing woman thank you for allowing me to write on her behalf

When I got the email asking me to write a testimonial I wasn't sure how to feel because I am not someone whom does this type of thing.... That being said when I read that it was supposed to be about a woman I know named Melissa and that the subject would be her love for animals ( dogs especially ) I began to type without any sort of hesitation or pauses. The reason for this.... simple.. To say she loves animals would be such an understatement. This woman has such a love for all animals that watching her for just a single moment in time with one would put you at ease with your closest pet pal. I say this with pride and a smile on my face, She simply is great! I really couldn't think of anyone else that I would want to be responsible for my own pet then this woman. Ever since she was in her early teens she has always had dogs in her life. Being a single child they were her best friends. She has a deep bond with any dog she spends time with and by the way they react to seeing her again or how they act when they are no longer with her I would say that the dogs also develop a loving trusting friendship with her as well. If you are reading this and you have several or even only two people you are looking at to watch your pet(s) then I seriously couldn't make my point any clearer then this....... THIS IS THE PERSON YOU WANT TO WATCH YOUR PETS!! It's that simple...
