Pet’s temporary best friend
Pet care experience
Your best friend’s temporary best friend while you’re away. House sitting • Keeping fur friends safe. • Making sure your pet stays occupied instead of getting into trouble. • Leaving your home as clean as you left it. (No one likes to come home to a dog’s mess.) • Cuddling pets all night long • Feeding as well as giving medications • 9 out of 10 times I’ll usually sleep on the couch with your pup. Drop in visits • Giving your pet mental stimulation while you’re out. • Filling up their bellies and letting them out for bathroom breaks. Dog walking • Making sure they are safe out on the street. • Exercising those little legs. • Keeping aggressive dogs away from other dogs. • Depending on preference we can run or walk. I’ve grown up with dogs but nine years ago I got my own best friends, Sailor and Kitty. I know how stressful it is to leave out of town or out for a couple hours wondering if they are safe and happy. I’ll take care of your pets and home as I would expect mine to be. I also take tons of photos of your pet as we are out and at home so you feel at easy while away. I’ve lived in Seattle for a year now and now have several regular dogs I take care of that I think of as my own. I sometimes joke that I’m going to switch my dog for my rover dog.
Reviews
Melissa was fantastic. She was unfazed by our boxer's energy. We left him with her for 7 days boarding at her home. She immediately made him feel at ease. She stayed in daily communication with little updates and photos. She made Gus part of her family for the week, bringing him with her to work and out with friends. Will definitely call on her again next time we need a dog sitter.
I had a negative experience with Melissa. Long story short: my dog was found alone on the street within a few hours of me dropping her off with Melissa and I had to cancel a vacation to recover her.
Fantastic sitter! Great communication! My boy was super comfy. Definitely coming back
Melissa did a fine job taking care of Stevie.
