I work full time hours at the airport and typically work an 8.5 hour shift. If your dog needs frequent potty breaks there will be a need for someone like a neighbor to pop in. I’ll be available to feed and potty before work, after work and night time potty. I’ll make sure to follow your routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure outside areas are secure for dogs to potty and play. When sitting for new pets I make sure to earn trust with love and positive reinforcement.

Information Melissa K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know personality. No breed specifications. I have two cats that are a little skittish with active dogs so I would need to sit in your house instead and just visit with my cats as needed during the day.

A typical day

We will walk in your neighborhood as needed. Dog park visits or playing in the yard. Lots of playtime and cuddles! I like to be outside so we can hang out in the yard together.

Pets

Cuddle loving sitter!

Pet care experience

I have pet sat for 8 years now and have experience with dogs, cats, horses and pocket pets. I love all types of breeds and enjoy cuddles and kisses. I love taking care of cats and have fostered many kittens. I’m active in community and would love to take your pet for rides and engage in errands. I also have riding experience if you own horses. I can also be available to feed, pasture and muck stalls. I look forward to meeting you and your babies. I like to follow your pets known routines to help provide stability while your away. Will kennel as needed - only if your pet requires this.

Melissa did a great job with our 2 girls. They seemed very happy with her. They can be a handful sometimes. We greatly appreciate her being able to watch them at the last min. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Melissa!!
