Dog lover, workfromhome, flex sched

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Melissa. I'm starting to dog sit because I used to live with my roommate who had 2 dogs and I miss them but can't afford my own right now so figured I'd get my dog fix with this app! I also had a dog in high school and am a pro at watching puppies. I'm active, work from home (director of marketing) and have a very flexible schedule. I'm responsible and timely, love to be outdoors, work out, run the lake, go to random parks and explore new things. I only like to watch one dog at a time so your pup can get my undivided attention. :) I am super responsive so any questions that you have will be answered in a timely manner. I'm all for making sure you get lots of pictures of your pup while you're away!

Melissa was great! She took care of my pup while my pup was under the weather (and she put up with my pup's grumpy attitude). :) She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pics.

Melissa was great! I reached out to her a bit last minute, and she completely accommodated the request. And even better, the minute that Kinzie walked in, I could tell she like Melissa and felt comfortable there. I got some pics as well - overall, the stay went very well. A big thanks to Melissa!

I would definitely recommend melisa to take care of pets! I have a little dog, who has anxiety issues, he’s very attached to me, but I felt so at ease knowing that he was in great hands! She was very accommodating, sent several pictures, and just stayed in contact with us through texts. Wish she lived in Texas so I could use her again!
