Attentive Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I’m a new addition to Park Slope but have been sitting dogs in Chicago for the past five years. I enjoy spending time with pups, both at home and on walks. Believe exercise and play leads to the best snuggles. My home is quite and a singular third floor apartment in a brownstone close to the park. For respect of the neighbors, dogs must not bark and nails must be trimmed. Unfortunately, pitbull mixes are not allowed. I am flexible with schedules, coordinating pick up and drop off times. Please note, I ask bookings to be done in half day increments. i.e. a AM drop off and PM pick up the following day would be 1.5 days - not 1 as the Rover App automatically generates (but at the same rate)! I hope to be an energetic and fun sitter for your pup!
Reviews
Melissa watched my Frenchie for a few nights and would absolutely rebook Melissa! Upon meeting, I felt instantly comfortable leaving my baby with her. She sends daily pictures, updates and even accommodated a last minute extension of stay. It was evident how much my frenchie loved her and had so much fun.
Melissa accommodated our requests and concerns and we found our dog to be calm and stress-free upon our return home.
Melissa and her boyfriend took amazing care of my two dogs! They were wonderful about sending photos and updates throughout the week. When I came home, both dogs were happy, healthy, and well exercised! Melissa was so kind to stay in our home and cared for our dogs as well as (or maybe better) than we would! Thank you!!
Melissa took great care of poncho while I was on vacation and send me several cute pics. I can tell Melissa cares for all the dogs she watches. Hope Poncho can stay again next time!

I prefer to not leave pups alone and love taking them on adventures to restaurants or cookouts. If they are left at home they will not be by themselves for more than 4-6 hours. I have a puppy can installed for remote monitoring.

Please let me know if your dog has separation anxiety. Unfortunately dogs that are noise sensitive are not allowed for courtesy of my neighbors. I am happy to accommodate any meal or medications needs.
A typical day
My house is filled with toys and treats. On the weekend we go to the dog park or on longer adventures depending your pups preference! I live very close to the park for outdoor hangs.
