I work from home and most of the time, it’s more on call. I don’t really go out much so I’d like to use my free time to help clients with playing and occupying their dogs when they aren’t able to.

Pet care experience

*I also do bookings off app* I love dogs. I would go to the library when I was younger to borrow books and read about dogs: the different breeds, dog shows, their origins, etc! My favorite animal is very close to the domestic dog. It’s a wolf! I also have two of my own. Everyone I know that has a dog or recently has gotten one, would always come to me for advice or suggestions.

My husband had always make the arrangements with Ryder so I was a little apprehensive taking care of it myself. But couldn’t have been easier. Melissa was great. All of her reports were fun to read. Thanks Melissa and Rover. Little Girl was well taken care of while I was away.

Melissa is a delight! She communicates so well, and our cats (even the shy boy) loved her. She’s a fantastic petsitter, we’ll definitely be calling on her in the future.
