Love dogs and keeping them happy.
Pet care experience
I have always shared my home with dogs, enjoying their companionship and antics. I love their energy and curiosity and engaging with them in ways which they enjoy most. I've watched my friends' pets at my home and have used pet sitting services myself so I understand how important it is to ensure the satisfaction of the pet and the client. I will carefully follow any special dietary needs your dog may have and any special requests for their care. Rest assured that in my care, you and your family can enjoy your vacation without worrying how your fur family is doing. I keep clients updated with plenty of photos along with daily written updates. I am fairly new to Corvallis and my family is in the beginning stages of building a home. Currently, I am available to offer pet house sitting at clients' home. In the future, I will be able to offer pet boarding, as well.
Reviews
Melissa was great watching my two cats. She made sure they were both well fed and made sure the litter box was clean. I love getting daily updates to see how they were both doing. A bonus is I also came home to a clean kitchen which I really appreciated after a long flight home.
Melissa has walked my dog for about a year now. My dog loves her and waits for her everyday by the door to take his walk. Melissa is great with my 95 lb. Labrador. She is assertive but kind. She has taught my dog how to walk without pulling. He is a well behaved walker thanks to her and I highly recommend her if you're needing a dog sitter or walker. Excellent person!
Melissa took care of our big guy while we were out of town and did an amazing job as always. Treating him as if he were her own and sending us pictures everyday, easing our minds about leaving him home alone. Thank you Melissa for your stellar professionalism and care for our dog.
Melissa is amazing. Due to an unexpected situation, we reached out less than 24 hours before we were hoping she could take our dog on a walk for the first of three days. She was able to make it work, had great communication, was friendly and punctual. Most of all, our dog was excited to see her each day! There is not a single critique I could provide if I wanted to. Thank you, Melissa!
About Melissa M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I house sit for clients, I make sure that pets have access to plenty of water and are fed and given treats as directed. I can administer medication if necessary. I will ensure all doors and gates are locked and pets are safely kept where requested. I will pick up after bathroom breaks and dispose of doggy litter, ensuring a clean area for them to roam.
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
I take good notes when talking to a client in order to follow their routine. Often, clients will leave a list of information, which is very helpful. This includes meal times and quantities, treats, medication, doggy behaviors for safety and house rules.
A typical day
Depending on the client requests, I can play with doggies at their home with toys that are provided or take them for a walk. Safety is important when caring for clients' pets.
