Dog Mom for Thee

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog parent for 10 years, I have a shihtzu named Prescot. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends through out the years as well. I’m currently furloughed from my current job (as a food and beverage supervisor) and have full availability and open schedule for you and your pets. Being a dog parent, I’m fully loaded with toys and beds for your pets. I live in a safe and quiet dog friendly condo complex.

Melissa and Prescot are the best! Pres has a million toys that Mylo was able to play with and a super comfy couch and beds to burrow his scent into lol. Mylo can be super finicky/stubborn bc of his age, but Melissa picked up on all his cues and used the notes I had left for her. I believe Mylo had a great time on his mini vacay based on all the super cute Rover & Instagram updates!

For starters, my shih poo Truman is kind of particular with people who aren’t his immediate family. That being said, Truman adores Melissa! I’ve left him in her care more than a dozen times and each time I’m confident that he will be taken care of like a little prince . Melissa is completely professional and caring. She sends pictures and updates on what Truman is doing throughout the day. It definitely puts my mind at ease that I’m leaving my furry family member with someone who takes care of him like he’s her own pup! If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, and attentive person to take care of your dog- look no further!

Melissa has “baby” sat for us many times in the past couple of years. Benji loves play dates with Melissa and her pup, Prescot. Melissa is reliable and caring and very trustworthy. She’s so attentive with Benji and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.

When I need for someone to watch Bella, Melissa is my go to person. I trust her to care and watch Bella. Bella is very active and Melissa has a lot of patience with her. She’s always fed on time and Bella loves her. She’s watched Bella many times and will be watching her again soon. I highly recommend her.
