Social worker who loves animals!
Pet care experience
I have 30 years of experience as a social worker and have always had tremendous passion and love for not only those in need but also animals. I currently work part time in social work. My husband and I often work from home. I grew up in a house with numerous pets, often bringing home injured animals to help. As an adult, I have always had at least one dogs, at times two dogs as well as a cat and guinea pig. Years ago we had a dog who was diagnosed with a serious lung condition at an early age. We spent tremendous time and resources for many years to assure the best care and life for our little one. My husband and I have an adorable dog and cat. Our dog is a very sweet 5 year old cocker spaniel who loves people and other dogs. Our cat is elderly and likes to sleep! If I stay at your home, I will not be bringing my dog. He will stay with my husband. Whether in my home or yours, I will care for your animals like I do my own. I’m used to my animals sleeping in bed with me, but will follow the rules you have set for your animals. My own dog is very energetic so we take him for many long walks daily. I am happy to do the same for yourself dog if he/she likes lots of exercise! I am very honest, ethical, caring and compassionate. I look forward to meeting the special animals in your life.
Reviews
I’ve had the pleasure of having Melissa in my life for 18 years, both professionally and personally. She is truly one of the kindest, caring, passionate and loving humans. We both share a HUGE passion for dogs and animals in general. Some of our friends and family members may think we are rather neurotic about our love and overall passion for dogs and all animals. Melissa and her husband are one of the VERY few people that I feel comfortable caring for my senior rescue doggies when I am out of town. Your little furbaby will be in great hands! ❤️🐶
Melissa is a good friend of mine who has watched my dogs several times. I always know they are in good hands with her! She always sticks to their feeding schedule and has no problem taking them for a walk during the day to get their energy out! Most importantly, she loves animals and always treats my dogs as well as her own.

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if animal has aggressive tendencies. I also will want to be aware of preferred routine, any medical issues or concerns. Any diet issues/restrictions as well as veterinarian utilized by family. If dog is in my home, I need to assure the dog is friendly to cats since I have an elderly one in my home.
A typical day
I love long hikes and playing with dogs inside and out.
