Pet care experience

Energetic Pet lover

I’ve owned my own dog for 13 years now and also worked at 2 major pet retail supply stores. I even tried my hand at grooming dogs, and still love to give dogs a bath and trim their nails. I had the pleasure of taking care of my friends senior dog who was terminally ill while he had to be away for work. I got the best snuggles from her! I am currently working as an optician, but I am saving to buy a house so I can run a pet sitting/doggy day care business from my home.

Melissa did a great job keeping my dog company and taking him for walks. She texted and sent pics 2 of the 3 days. Hudson liked her and I like to have consistent caretakers for him, so I will see if she’s available the next time we go out of town.

I love to know what a dog likes to do, or doesn’t like. It’s also important to know what kind of training and boundaries you want followed as a pet parent.
