Highlights
Pet care experience
Expert Care for Every Paw 🐾
Lady was the first dog we had in our family (in the picture) and I had the opportunity to learn most of what I know through her. I was able to learn appropriate dog walking skills, routines for dogs, the importance of play and the impacts of going for longer walks in nature. I typically like to have the appropriate treats for dogs while on walks (depends on any known allergies) and always like have water or access to water with me to ensure hydration is being met after big runs! I’m always constantly ensuring their safety while out and mindful of where I am going.

Safety, trust & environment
For pet visits I hold the up most respect for your environment and how you would like me to interact in that with your pet; I have been a pet-sitter for my family and friends in the past and just always ask for exactly what you would like to see from me while there.

Schedule
I’m currently working part-time and in school full-time at VIU; I am using this as an opportunity to get outside more; spend more time doing things that I love like going for nature walks and spending time with animals.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsMelissa can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Let me know all about your fur-babies ! You know them the best :) Do they listen to certain commands that are out of the typical, are they easier to walk on trails than suburban areas, do they have allergies or tendencies on walks that might need some extra care watching out for. These types of things make it easy for me to plan ahead for you
