Warmhearted, fun, caring, easygoing

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats deserve love and attention and that's why I'm here to help! I grew up with dogs and cats and raised a golden retriever for 14 years. I know it takes responsibility, patience, and a mutual understanding to take care of any animal. I love walking dogs and playing with them at the park. Some things I enjoy include hiking, cooking, and crafting. I currently have a 3 year old tabby cat named Ozi. He gets along with practically any animal. He is super energetic, and loves to cuddle. I currently work part-time so I am able to manage pet care daily. I do have three other housemates in which two work from home. Before I head to work, I would make sure the pet is taken care of; fed, walked, and given attention as well as after work. I live in an apartment so I would walk the dog however many times needed for them to release their energy and enjoy their time with me. I make sure they are always fed, have water and are happy and feel loved.

As always, Chase Loved his stay with Melissa. She was excited to see Chase and spend time with him. And He was happy to see her as well. She's responsive and flexible. It's comforting to know he's in caring hands, and her home is always clean & comfortable.

Melissa was quick to respond and communicated throughout the experience! I'd happily use her services again or recommend her to others nearby!

Melissa was great! Very responsive with questions, friendly, & excited to have Chase in her home. Chase came home happy, brushed, and rested. He obviously got plenty of walks and time w people. He normally whines and is anxious when I picked him up from Dogtopia. But not from Melissa~ instead he was relaxed and happy.

Some fun activities I enjoy are going on hikes, dog parks, playing fetch, skating, cuddling and petting animals. One of my favorite parks is Maria Hernandez.
