The best care for your best friend

Pet care experience

I am a student at Sacramento State University, currently studying biology to become a veterinarian. I have been in love with animals my whole life, and would love more experience with more of them. In the past few years, I have been housesitting for families with dogs that I know through work, my family, and my friends, and they have all been such wonderful experiences that I wanted to expand my clientele. I've lived with dogs all my life and absolutely adore spending time with any dog, even if it's only for five seconds while passing by on the street. I've recently moved into an apartment that does not allow dogs, except for special cases, so I have been missing the mere exposure to their happiness and constant positive outlook on life. I would love to meet and spend time with your lovely, furry best friend!

Melissa is the best when it comes to dog sitting! She is always very friendly and my dog loves her. I never have to worry when leaving town because I know that she's taking great care of what matters most to me. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your animal, Melissa is definitely the one to go to.

Melissa is so good with my dog Nellie. My dog is usually uninterested in company or new people and tries to hide from them or just ignores them. But when I introduced Melissa, Nellie was curious, playful, tail wagging the whole nine yards. She'll deny it but I swear she was a dog in another life.

I have known Melissa my whole life and have seen her around many dogs as well as other animals. It is very easy to see how much she loves dogs of any kind. If there is a dog around, she simply lights up and cannot help but play with it, speak to it, and show it that it is loved in every way possible. Every single dog I have seen her with has been completely enamored with her; even those who are very timid or unlikeable toward anyone but their owner have somehow forgotten to be like this and become very friendly toward her. It is so fitting that she aspires to be in the veterinary field, and gaining this experience and trust will help her toward her path. Melissa is a very qualified and dedicated person whom I cannot recommend enough to care for your dogs.

I have know Melissa for years and I can truly say that I haven't known anyone else that loves dogs so much. Currently, she is dedicated to pursuing a career as a veternarian and I honestly can't imagine anyone else better for the job. She takes great care with her own dogs and spends so much time with them. I've even seen her get along with dogs that are extremely timid or dislike most people. I have no idea how she does it, but I think it is just one of the things that make her an amazing person and care provider.
