Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I do have areas in and around my home that I can keep a dog separate from others if necessary.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks All around my neighborhood. I am very close to Balboa park and like to take my dogs there to walk, take in all the smells, sniffs and chase the squirrels! It is great enrichment! Your dog's sleeping arrangement In a dog bed or floor if they choose. Time I'll spend with your dog Wherever I am the dog is!

Melissa is a friendly and communicative sitter. She put us at ease as soon as we met her, telling us about her own pets. Our cat took to her right away, which is all we needed to feel comfortable with leaving her in Melissa's care. We loved getting the picture updates and are happy with the experience we had with Rover and Melissa!

Melissa is fantastic! My dog, Kaycee, fell in love with her immediately. She replies to messages quickly and is very loving toward Kaycee. She was also very understanding and flexible when my schedule changed, which I appreciate. Kaycee can't wait for her next walk with Melissa!
