Pet care experience

I’m PanPetual. Lover of all species

Special experience: -bottle feeding babies -medication administration -senior and palliative care -basic dog training (not certified) -caring for injuries and wounds -soothing anxious dogs I don’t just want a side gig watching your animals. I want to connect with and actively have fun with each baby I get to meet. I have had at least 1 pet every moment of my life. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and all together live with 3 of each in my current home. Everyone deserves to know their fur babies are safe and happy. I provide consistent updates and pictures as often as you like. Feel free to ask about any special requests, I am quite flexible and am even open to bartering services. We will work together to find something that makes everyone happy!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Each pet has their own personality and I find it important to listen to what they are trying to tell me. I can cuddle all day or give lots of space and I have pets that like both so it is easy for me to adjust to varying needs.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 04, 2020

Melissa, thank you so much for taking good care of our Cookie. I am so happy he had a chance to interact with other dogs, and was introduced to the cat! Just looking at Cookie now I can say he had an excellent day.

We are so lucky to have found Melissa to watch our two dogs. She took very good care of them and even sent us pictures throughout our vacation. She stayed overnight at our house and all was great when we got home. I would recommend for anyone to hire Melissa. She is AWESOME!!

Melissa helped us out last minute with house and dog sitting. She was responsive, communicative, and very reliable. She kept us updated throughout her stay with pictures and details. We came home to a happy dog and a watered garden. We really appreciated her services and highly recommend!

Melissa is an sweet and very responsible. Currently she owns 2 dog and 1 cat. One of her dogs was given to her by a couple who said the dogs was amazing, but she ended up having behavioral issues. Missy’s patience and love has paid off and her dogs Percy has stopped destroying things and is much better behaved around strangers. I would totally trust that my animals would be loved and safe in Missy’s care.
