Pet care experience

DISCLOSURE: I do this full time so I am available 24/7 unless fully booked. YOUR DOG WILL NEVER BE LEFT ALONE WHEN IN MY CARE which is the reason for my pricing as I am incredibly flexible in my schedule and will always have your fur baby with me. Hi my names Melissa, I am a foster for the Toronto humane society, paws across the water, 4 lucky paws and the Durham humane society! As being apart of these programs I’m sure you know that I have quite some experience with dogs, cats and even special species such as rabbits, hamsters etc. 🐕🐈 I’m a huge animal lover, so prepare for your pet to be spoiled while in my care 🥰 I’ll make sure to send videos and pictures of their time here to put your mind at ease! Meet and greets are a must as I want both you and your pet to be happy with me ☺️ They will be walked a minimum of twice a day, unless directed otherwise! Potty breaks can be done every 1-2 hours if needed, I can tend to that! Lastly they will have lots of play and love and cuddles 💕 I’m hoping for your dog to not be aggressive though, kid friendly and dog friendly as all of these live in my home! Thank you for considering me in pet sitting your four legged friends! Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby ♥️ DOGS MUST BE HOUSE TRAINED NO ACCIDENTS IN THE HOME I have 2 rescues from Texas that will keep your animals company ☺️

Melissa and Brian were amazing with our Mango! We could see the bond they developed when we picked our puppy up and how happy Mango looked while in their care. Mango was with them for almost 10 days during which time, he was well taken care of and they were very attentive! Thanks for everything!

Melissa was incredible! She sent photo updates and my dog was so happy when I picked her up. I could tell that Melissa loves what she does based on the amazing care she provided.
