'Twas meant 2 be,your furovr furend

Pet care experience

I have provided a loving home as a foster for dogs and cats. I've also done a great job at taking care of pets for friends and family. Your fur baby will get all the attention they deserve including playtime, belly rubs, pettings, cuddles, treats, and walks. I'm currently self employed and have the flexibility to accommodate schedules. My schedule does vary but I'm able to make accommodations for special requests. Let's have a chat about your fur baby. I offer a customized service since I am aware that every pet has different needs. If it is in my home we can talk about what things makes them most comfortable. Please specify if your pet needs special accommodations that way I may prepare. I have a flexible schedule which allows for me to customize my routine to your pet's needs. I am able to make it work for you and your fur child. Constant supervision, pet proof surrounding areas/home, lots of precautionary measures to prevent incidents. They are able to roam my apartment but keep in mind that your dog will be crated for short time when I'm not home to prevent from any accidents or incidents. This only pertains for care in my home. If it is in your home, I will adhere to their routine. Thank you.

Melissa is kind, attentive and knowledgeable as it comes to dogs and their needs. She is an excellent walker, and if the need arises we will certainly reach out again. I needed help with the pup when my partner needed to travel for an emergency. We hired Melissa to take our Pitbull Elaine on her morning walks for 5 days in a row. One of the morning when I forgot to to refill the pups water, Melissa noticed it was a bit low and made sure to fill it up. She also sent us pictures and videos of her morning walks making sure everyone was comfortable with the services she provides. Melissa even bought some treats to give to our dog! Overall we are very happy with the services she provided and highly recommend!

Melissa is the most loving gentle pet sitter! She will always 100% make sure that your dog is well taken care of and of course this means that she will make note of all directions you leave her. Melissa loves all furbabies and they all love her too! If you need a walker or sitter, she’s your girl!

Melissa was perfect. She took wonderful care of Lil Cat. She kept in touch with texts, pics and videos that kept me secure and comfortable knowing that Lil was in very good hands. Melissa is highly recommended for your kitty sitting needs.
