Cali & Friends

Pet care experience

Thank you for visiting my profile ! Where your fur baby will receive the best care possible The BEST CARE, LOVE , TREATS & LOTS & Lots of playtime! I remember taking care of my grandfather’s black lab, Simba. We adopted him from a shelter and I considered him my best friend until he passed away, when I was 15 years old. As a child I was shy and it was difficult for me to connect with other kids my age. Animals became my life—my relationship with Simba and other dogs in my family (everything from Boston Terriers to labs) helped me develop confidence, which helped me in my human relationships as well. I credit Simba with inspiring me to pursue my lifelong passion of working with animals and am so grateful for the experience of caring for him at a young age! I went on to volunteer at the local shelter where I was tasked with working with abused dogs, including feedings, walks, cleaning and my favorite, play time. I sharpened my skills and learned the importance of patience, trust and respect in working with mistreated dogs. I am also fortunate to be a part of a family of veterinarians who allowed me to volunteer with their practice and gain knowledge by working with trainers in their circle. Leaving your pet with a stranger is a difficult thing to do and it’s not an act that I take for granted. I understand that it can be stressful for both the owner and the pet and I work hard to make the transition as smooth as possible. I take my time when meeting a new pup to ease their mind and ease the owner’s mind by sending regular photo and text updates so they know how well their dog is doing in my care. I work from home , which means I have the time and resources to make myself available to your pet 24/7 . I live by myself in a non smoking home. I have a beautiful Boston Terrier who loves making new friends . I have no kids !! & all my time will be spent with your fur baby & mine playing, taking walks & having plenty of treats and exercise and will NEVER EVER leave them alone unattended. My schedule also makes it so that I can be very flexible with pick up and drop offs! I am open to long term weekly arrangements taking care of your dogs or short term as well a one time thing. I prioritize exercise and play in my household and it’s important to me to keep active with the pups in my care. Overall, I’m the most patient, respectful, kind and loving pet sitter you will find here. Send me a message—I can’t wait to meet you! I have plenty of time for your fur baby he or she will get lots of love, attention, cuddles & parent-approved treats. I currently offer boarding where your pet will receive amazing care in a loving smoke-free home it's just me & my amazing Boston Terrier names Cali. I have an over 1000 sqft townhouse with lots of room. I live by many trails and I have a nice dog park. I would love to spend the day with your pet at Daycare comes have your pet relax with me fun exercise, treats, & a goodie bag. I love to exercise & walk what better way to exercise than your fur baby beside me of course on the walks I bring plenty of water & treats. Drop-in visits. Are you at work? Worried about your fur baby? Well then send me a message because I will gladly take care of him or her and make sure they get lots of cuddles exercise and love while you’re gone!

WOW Melissa was great with my dog. Very easy to speak with and I felt assured that my pup was being well looked after. Melissa is the most attentive sitter I have came across. Super sweet, friendly, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

I was rover searching for about a month, looking for the best people to dog sit my four months puppy. Some people took way to long to respond or cancelled on my reservation last minute. This made me upset especially as I was a first time user of Rover. My puppy is super friendly but I felt unsafe having him hang out with strangers when I was away for my full time job work. Out of fifteen people that I talked to, and two people that I actually met, Melissa and Alex responded the fastest, were the most friendly people who genuinely seemed to care about my dog. When I first met them for meet and greet, they both showed up and brought their cute dog. I felt so relieved that what I thought of them turned out to be true. During the dog day care day, they sent me so many photos and videos and my puppy literally had so much fun, he passed out sleeping next to them when I came to pick him up. Definitely the best affordable and trust worthy service you can get through Rover and I highly recommend for those who want their furry babies to be well taken care of! You will feel so relieved to see your dog with them that you want your dog to hangout with them like everyday!!
