Highlights
Pet care experience
Ready to walk!
I have ten years of working in the animal care field from doggie daycares to the veterinary field. I have experience with all ages of pets, from pup (or kitten) to senior citizens (which are my favorite “breed”). I have years of kennel experience and medication administration, so no need to worry if your pet needs extra help! I also have experience watching and medicating “exotic” pets such as ferrets and rabbits. Walking and hiking are my two big hobbies, so your dog will be well exercised under my care. Since I worked in the field for so long, I have connections with both techs and veterinarians if a health issue arises. All in all, I just love animals and love getting the opportunity to hang out with them!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I usually go to peoples homes. I have no issue staying over, but cannot have dogs at my house and prefer to keep the pet in the environment they are used to.
Ratings and reviews
Very dependable and kind!
Awesome very gentle with a senior dog walks her as much as she is able to
After a wonderful first experience with Melissa watching our two cats, I felt confident in booking with her again while we were out of town for a wedding. We will definitely check if she's available for all our upcoming summer plans and highly recommend her to others!
Melissa was wonderful with our cats! I've always been hesitant to leave them with someone who hasn't previously experienced them, due to their special food needs and daily meds, but Melissa made them seem like no big deal. We arrived home to two well-cared for cats :) I would absolutely book Melissa again and recommend her to others!
Consistently late to every walk, significant miscommunications. Several chances given, but we will not be rebooking.
Melissa is amazing, incredibly responsive and reliable. My cat loves her and so do I!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet sitting is my full time job! I do have a lot of mid day walking clients, but can do cat drop ins and morning and evening walks. I do house sitting also, but need a decent amount of time in advance for requests
