Pet care experience
All my life I have been surrounded by dogs. I love all breeds and will happily take care of any dog that needs some extra love. My aunt has been working with rescued dogs from the south for the over 2 years and I have assisted her with multiple furry friends. I also volunteered at Animal Rescue League of Boston in the South End in my free time and worked with a variety of dogs during my time there as well as gained valuable training. I do work full time but am fully available on weekends and before and after work during the week. I live and work in Fenway and have my own vehicle to get around. I am also available to provide dog baths and grooming as needed. I love how friendly and happy dogs are. You could be having the worst day in the world but then when a dog is so happy and excited to see you, it makes you feel so much better! I want to be a pet sitter to be a friendly face for a dog when their owner is away. That way the dog knows that even though mom and/or dad may not be there to hang out and walk them, that I am a friend who truly cares and will give them attention too. I am compassionate, organized and funny. I have a lot of love for animals and love taking care of them. I'm clean and know how to stay organized, both with physical objects and my own personal time. As for funny, I don't mind making a fool of myself in order to have a good time and help a dog feel at ease. If I sound like a good fit, let's set up a meet and greet!
Reviews
Melissa was great! She was super quick to respond, and make time to come over for a meet-and-greet before her stay at our home. She was at ease with Jovi immediately, and you can tell how great she is with animals right off the bat. Seh sent us updates while we were gone, which were particularly appreciated because we were leaving him during a dangerous heat-wave. We came home to a healthy and happy fur babe after a much needed vacation. Thank you Melissa!!
Melissa did a great job taking care of our babies, and was extremely respectful of our home. I felt comfortable that our furry friends were safe the entire time. We are looking forward to working with Melissa again in the future!
Melissa and my dog Anderson bonded almost immediately. Since my dog is blind, nervous and has separation anxiety, that isn't easy. When I got home Anderson was relaxed. I was so afraid he would be whimpering. I plan to use Melissa again in the near future.
Melissa was a great care giver for our dog! She took Elke on walks and sent us updates while we were away. We'll definitely use her again!

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any triggers your dog has that could cause them to become snappy or aggressive as well as any medical issues I should be aware of, such as a seizure disorder or other health complications. Please let me know as much as you can about your dog so I can provide the best care.
A typical day
I am happy to run around with your dog if they have an excess of energy or just relax if they are an older dog. I can custom tailor what I do with your dog to their needs and activity level so that they are satisfied and so are you.

During the summer, I work Monday - Thursday most weeks so my weekends have open availability. I also have my own dog who makes new friends easily in a controlled environment.
