Safety, trust & environment

I am a former Vet Tech and have many year experience caring for different personalities from Friendly outgoing babies to the more shy and reserved types. I am very patient and will take the time to get to know every one in my care.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the temprement of the dog and would want to meet him/her at least once before the actual event. I don't have any preferences in breeds and I am against judging a dog by their breed.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I work during the day but am home by 4pm everyday and don't usually go back out after that so the evening is devoted to your loved one. Extra house-sitting services Yes, whatever you need while you are away just let me know.

Pet care experience

Hello My name is Melissa! I am a Registered Veterinary Technician so I have ample animal knowledge and experience with medicine administration. About this sitter: I am a Vet Tech so I have experience with multiple species. I am experienced in caring for Senior pets, pets with disabilities and illnesses. I am trained in animal First Aid/CPR as well as the administration of all types of medication and if your elderly pet requires fluids I can administer that. Why I love dog sitting I know what it is like to be picky about who cares for your pet. Being a petsitter myself allows me to give fellow pet owners piece of mind. My experience administering medication: I am very comfortable administering all medications including fluids and injectable medications.

Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with! She loved on my kitties and took extra great care of them! We will definitely have her back in the future to watch them!

Melissa saves the day as always! Our doggies love her (the puppy is warming up but he’s a bit insane). Highly recommend her to anyone who needs an awesome doggie sitter!
