I give the best pets.

Pet care experience

I’ve been volunteering at animals shelters for 10+ years and have experience with sensitive pets or unique regimens. I’ve also volunteered at the National Aquarium in an animal husbandry role, so I’m a quick learner if you have pets such as reptiles that need unique care. I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, hamsters, chinchillas, and a frog named Fred. I probably enjoy the walks more than the pups and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t like!

MJ has been a family friend for 5+ years and is always the go to choice for drop-ins for my cats. Last Christmas, she cleaned, organized, and redecorated my apartment as a gift. I can’t express how generous of a pet sitter/house sitter she is, you won’t regret her help!

Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet

Any pertinent information that may render the dog’s care more unique - aggression issues (if applicable), feeding schedule, sleep routine, general rules and commands, behavior expectations, etc.

A typical day

I’m an avid walker - dog friendly hiking spots, parks, or just strolls around the neighborhood. It will depend on the energy of the dog; a younger dog I may try to play with/work out some energy outside whereas an older dog I may implore mental stimulation or a good ol trusty nap.

My name is Melissa and I’m the proud human to two cats - Griffon & Minerva. I became the human to my first cat when I was 6 months old and maintained a wonderful bond with my Princess until she died at the old age of 21. I will treat any companion like they are my own and continue to love them in your absence.
