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!)
