Dog lover in need of puppy time!
Pet care experience
I'm a dog lover in need of puppy fixes every once in a while. I have grown up with dogs of various sizes and breeds, and love taking care of them. I've fostered puppies and dogs for a rescue organization so I am comfortable with dogs of various ages and temperaments. I'm a student with an extremely flexible schedule and friends with dogs should they need a puppy friend. I live in a studio apartment, but my apartment has several nearby dog parks and I know all the great walking spots in the city, so your dog will get the love and exercise they need. I am flexible to preferences for crating, exercise and playtime. I hope you'll choose me to care for your little (or big) one! While I hope you choose me, I've included some details below about my availability and apartment to help you decide if I am a good fit for you and your dogs' needs. NOTES 1. I love puppies! Here are greater details on my availability should puppies need someone home all day: I have 6 hour class days Monday and Wednesday but have all day availability Tuesday, Friday and the weekends, and only a short class Thursdays. 2. While I love dogs of all make and model, my building does have a restriction against "bully" breeds. They are flexible with mixes so please still reach out if you aren't sure about your dog, but unfortunately I can't take any purebreds. I hate the policy, but its still in place. 3. My building and the surrounding area has a large dog population. May not be the best environment for leash reactive dogs. 4. I have a dog friendly cat.
Reviews
Melissa was amazing! Baloo loved staying with her and was all smiles when we returned. We will be back!
Melissa is AWESOME! She helped me with an extended weekend where I needed her to watch Sandy, my Lab. She was responsive, nice, and took good care of Sandy while we were away. I highly recommend her, and will be using her again in the future :)
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and first time using Rover. Melissa was great! Next time I am out of town, I'll definitely reach out to Melissa again! :)
I had to go out of town last minute for work, and Melissa adjusted her schedule to meet Tucker and me. She took great care of him for an entire week: I got text updates regularly and she was prompt to respond to my myriad inquiries. She also stayed up late so I could pick him up as soon as I got back, and he returned home relaxed and happy.
