Pet care experience

Promo code MELISM20365 ($20 off) I love all pets!!! I had dogs, cats, rabbits, and many more pets throughout my life. Currently, I have a medium sized, female Siberian Husky-mix that loves to play with other dogs and is super friendly to cats. My dog is medium size and does well with both- large or small dogs. My dog is fixed, but I don’t mind if your dog isn’t. I have a big apartment with a balcony and walk the dogs every 3 hours. I only take one pet at a time. This way you can be assured, that your pet will get all the attention and you won’t have to worry that your pet won’t get along with other pets- just my dog. For new clients, I’d like for our pets to meet in advance, but even on the same day is fine. If they don’t get along for some reason (which is unlikely), then I’ll cancel free of charge for you. I work remotely and have plenty of time to look after our pets. Let me know if your pet has extra needs so I can accommodate.

Melissa gave me something every dog owner hopes for: complete confidence that their dog is very well cared for and genuinely happy. I had a last-minute trip that would have been considerably more challenging had it not been for her. After receiving the first update and seeing how comfortable and at home Rhys was, I was able to relax and fully focus on my travels. Her daily updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it quickly became clear that Rhys was not only being exceptionally well cared for, but genuinely having a wonderful time. When I returned home, he was relaxed, content, and in great spirits. I am incredibly grateful for the care Melissa provided and can say without hesitation that I will be trusting her with Rhys again in the future. I could not recommend her more highly.

Melissa took really good care of Rex for daycare and kept me updated multiple times throughout the day. Rex had a blast with her and his new furry friend ☺️

Melissa was absolutely incredible, she looked after my boy Angelo phenomenally, he had such an amazing time with her husky and they got along so amazing, she was extremely communicative and sent photos the entire time. Couldn’t thank her enough for the love and care she gave my baby
