Pet care experience

I have spent over 2 years volunteering and working with shelters and rescues. Dog walk lengths will depend on the size of your dog/how young they are! Ranging from a quarter mile to a full mile. For sitting/boarding, I am experienced in medical care for senior and special needs dogs! I absolutely adore playing and cuddling with dogs, whatever they need, I will provide (with your permission of course). I do live in an apartment, so I would prefer if your dog is already house trained, if not, please bring pee pads just in case! Pop-ins will include updates (as requested), including photos and a message from your pet (I also do pet photography)! Thank you so much for your consideration, and I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I work five days a week from 3pm to 10pm. My work schedule is pretty flexible, however, so with enough notice I can take days off for pick up/drop off. Frequent potty breaks and two long walks during the day to keep them active and healthy. My macaw is in a sturdy cage and my cats have their own closet they can be in. I deep clean my apartment once a month, and give regular cleanings weekly, doubling down as needed for boarding. 😌

Melissa watched our pup Purty multiple times for over a year and was great! Purty enjoyed going to Melissa’s and would come home to us in a great mood. She was easy to communicate with and provided us updated and pictures throughout Purty’s stays. I would use Melissa to watch my animals whenever I need a dog sitter in the future.

I can't recommend Melissa enough! I met her and discussed my cat in depth. My cat is extremely aggressive, I explained the boundaries that my cat needs and she followed them to the letter. I was extremely apprehensive about letting anyone care for my cat, because of his violent tendencies. I was SHOCKED when I was released from the hospital to find my cat cuddling with her and loving on her. Means the world that while I learned how to walk again, my cat had someone to love on. Also honorable mention for her not only sending me pictures and videos of my cat, but also leaving me a high resolution photograph of my cat that is now displayed on my fridge!
