Let me love on your pets, please:)

Pet care experience

Grew up with 8 inside cats, 3 outside dogs, and a farm full of critters. I have had pets and cared for pets since I can remember! My first job as a pre-teen was walking/dog sitting my neighborhoods animals. Very familiar with all types of dogs and cats. Currently I have a very sweet Chihuahua that basically ignores other dogs. It’s funny, he just accepts all the pets that come in and out of the house. I also just got a Corgi puppy that also seems to love new dogs and cats. I have never met an animal that I didn't love and want to be my new friend. Very much enjoy the company of animals and truly looking forward to meeting your baby. Also, have a very good recipe for dog treats that are gluten free if your dog has an allergy. Thank you for considering me to take care of your best friend. I promise to treat him/her with love and compassion:) I seem to attract the animals with special needs. Those are my jam, we will have the best time and care for them the way you need and want. Please use code “MELISG90631” to get $20 off your first booking with me!

Mel & her family are AMAZING!! Our Bubba has some issues requiring extra attention. When we first met Mel, Bubba was shaking so profoundly that it probably appeared he was having seizures. Within minutes Mel with her sweet animal ways, eased his fears so much that Bubba went for a walk with her alone! (Bubba is a rescue from the animal shelter, with an unknown prior history. He has severe separation anxiety and does not adapt well to new circumstances.) Not only that, but Mel's fur babies Tidbit the dog, and Lenny & Benny (kitty cats), all welcomed Bubba into their home. When we came to pick him up after an overnighter, I think he was actually a bit sad to leave her house and come back home! We now can leave home and go on vacation knowing Bub's will not only be ok, but will have a great time at Mel's house!

Melissa was great she sent pictures of Odie and she seemed to really like him. We gave him a bath so he would be fresh and clean when he arrived for his stay, and Melissa gave him a bath to come home. I could tell that she really cared for our dog and made us feel good about leaving him in her care. We will use Melissa again and I highly recommend her to care for your pet. She is a really good person.
