Condo next to large field and park

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Melissa and I am devoted animal lover for 30 years! I have had dogs most of my life, ranging from small to medium and from puppies to elder animals. I work as a school social worker during the day. So typically I am home by 3pm, have weekends and summers free to care for any furry friends. I do have a pet chihuahua that typically does ok with other small dogs or chis. There are no children in the home. My condo area has a large field and park next door that would be ideal for lovely long walks or a brisk walk. I have had experience fostering, overnighting dogs, walking dogs and pet sitting. Each and every time is rewarding time spent with your loved pets! For special requests on dogs that need a little more space, I am able to drop off my own dog with family where she is loved & cared for in order to give your dog the special attention it needs. I would say the best part of caring for animals for me is having our walks and providing love and attention to all sorts of furry friends. (** please note that for animal sleep overs, owners are to provide pet supplies (food, bowls, leash, treats, toys etc.) Thank you!)

Melissa was great for watching our 3 pups in our home. She took care of their normal routine feeding, medicine and going outside and shot us pics of them while we were away. We'd definitely use her again.

Melissa was awesome with our dog! So very accommodating. He came home appearing very happy and well-loved during his stay.

My kid and I had a good feeling about Mellisa when we first met. Mellisa has a great attitude. She sent us pictures everyday of our dog showing how quickly she adapted to her place while we were away. Our dog didn’t appear any different than being at home. My wife was at ease when she saw the pictures. We had a worry-free vacation getaway. Thank you Mellisa! The Cruz family

I've known Melissa for a long time, anytime I need her to watch my dog for me she is always ready and excited! Shes responsible, punctual, and has great chemistry with any dog I've seen her with. We both absolutely love dogs, I wouldnt trust my baby with anybody else.
