Pet Care with Love

Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs!

Melissa is a lover of dogs. Especially, the small breed. She has always been good to her pets in seeing they are well-fed and loved and all vaccinations up to par. In addition, I have known her to buy her pets sweaters in the winter so they are warm and cute. I have also known her to brush their teeth, take them to the vet dentistry, and to the parlor to have their nails clipped. If you are looking for someone to watch and care for your pet, they will be safe and well-cared for by Melissa H.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

A typical day

I enjoy playing with animals like playing fetch or playing with them with their toys. Lots of walking and exercise and potty breaks. We must not forget nap time in the afternoon!

Please inform me if your pet has special needs. If I am unaware, that's not good. I actually would like to know because when they're with me, I would like your pet to be comfortable.
