Experienced animal lover 🕊🐾🩵🦚

Pet care experience

Hello 🐾 My name is Melissa and I am a single mother in search of creating a career that sets my soul on fire. I have always been compassionate about animals and would love to start my own business in this field. I take pride in hardwork. I am trustworthy, career driven, and independent. As a previous pet owner, I understand how time consuming feeding, walking and cleaning up after animals while working full-time and maintaining home life can be. I have worked in pet stores and have had many different types of animals throughout my life. ☆ Available 7 days a week ☆ Services are long walks in the park 🐶 Pet sitting and daily drop in visits to provide food, water, and some lovin♡ “An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” –Martin Buber

Melissa did a great job staying at our house and caring for our two dogs while we were out of town.

I'm worried about saying too many wonderful things about Melissa because I'm scared I'll lose her! This is the first time we used Rover and I must say although we were a little apprehensive at first, having someone stay at our home to care for our four dogs, but once I met her I saw that she's a lovely young woman who assured me that they would be fine, as did her reviews. Then between a few texts, some photos of our pups, we returned home. I saw that she was true to her word. She followed my instructions to a T, our home was immaculate, and the dogs were happy and well cared for. They love her and so do we!

Pure love and attention is what I give each animal. I take care of every animal as if it were my own. Their safety and happiness is guaranteed.

Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet

Food/treat allergies. Medication times and dosage. Typical behavior I should expect in different settings. Training words used by the family members so I can follow same regimen. Vet information in case of an emergency.

A typical day

I like to follow your dog's typical routine. If walks or daily exercise is needed depending on activity level we can get outside to run around or take a walk around the neighborhood. High energy breeds need this to get out all their wiggles & decrease stress levels. Case by case basis. We can discuss your dog's needs further!
