Experienced Dog Loving Family

Pet care experience

Hello, my name Melissa and my fiancé is Michael! We live in a house in South Tampa with a large fenced in yard. My boyfriend has grown up with dogs his entire life. We currently have two fur-babies ourselves, one submissive, beautiful dog named Willow and one indoor- outdoor cat who stays away from our dog. We also have two feathered children (well, chickens, lol), we keep them in their run when the dogs are out. Willow loves to play with other dogs! However, we have dog sat many older dogs / dog who don't like to play as much as her, and things were just fine. I have fostered for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay for the past five years. My boyfriend and I feel comfortable administering medication; but please let us know in advance and explain what it is for, how to administer it, and possible side effects. We have experience with dog sitting a diabetic, nearly blind and deaf dog (she's a sweetheart). Although we allow our fur kids on our furniture / bed, if you prefer your animals not be allowed, that is fine, just please let us know. Also, I clicked that we will allow more than one client in our home at a time but if you prefer your dog be the only dog we watch, that is fine but please let us know. *How frequently we can provide potty breaks depends on our work schedule, I clicked 2-4 hours; however, some days may be 8 while others may be 0-2- when booking we can discuss this in further detail if needed

Melissa is the best dog sitter I've ever had. I trusted her with my chihuahua terrier mix and lab..my babies! My dogs aren't always the easiest to deal with, but she made it seem like it was a walk in the park. Our lab is super energetic and needy, and the terrier mix is very...accident prone. He managed to have a few nervous accidents, but Melissa didn't stress about it! She loved on them like she loves on her own. She always updated us on how they were doing and sent us pictures so we knew they were ok. I'll never leave my animals in a kennel or doggy day care. They won't get the same love like they did from Melissa!

Melissa, is a dependable, reliable, compassionate animal lover. She took care of our yellow lab for 2 weeks and did an awesome job. Our dog requires medication twice a day and she had no problems with keeping the schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I will definitely use her in the future.
