I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!!

Safety, trust & environment
I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.
Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
Any aggression would need to be disclosed beforehand. Open to all breeds. I have experience with German Shepherds, Rotts, Pits, Great Pyraneese, Akitas, and Labs.
A typical day
I would go to the metro-parks or trails around your area! Your pup and I could go on a little adventure together. I would love to have a walking buddy! Hiking is always a good option, to explore new areas. Or we could go with a traditional "around the block" walk.

Consistency, Comfort & Attention
Pet care experience
Experienced with diabetic pets, including insulin administration and blood glucose monitoring. Hi! I provide reliable, in-home pet care so your pet can stay comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply having someone there with them. I’m very attentive to behavior and always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m experienced with pets that need extra attention, including administering medications, insulin, and monitoring blood glucose levels. I understand how important timing and consistency are, and I take care to follow routines closely and safely. Rates are customized based on each pet’s routine and level of care. For pets needing extended time, consistent presence, or specialized care, pricing may be adjusted accordingly. I also spend quality time with the pets I care for, so they’re not left alone for long periods and have consistent companionship throughout the day. You can expect regular updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to keep your pet comfortable, cared for, and in their normal routine while giving you peace of mind. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to see if I’m a good fit for you and your pet!

Reviews
I have known Melissa and her family for many years. Melissa has two dogs in which she gives the world. They are very well behaved and well mannered. Melissa has always been a very serious animal lover whether it is a dog, cat, or a snake Melissa has always been a responsible animal owner. Melissa has worked for Camp Bowwow for a while now where she has been a valued and respected employee. Please accept this testimonial for Melissa Pavlick as a responsible animal caregiver, and lover. Thank you.
Melissa was more then we ever expected!! We were so worried about leaving our 2 pups for a week while we were on vacation but after meeting with Melissa and seeing how our dogs reacted to her we knew she would be the perfect fit! She texted, sent pictures and videos every single day and was on top of everything! She even made sure the hamster was played with and the fish were fed! She cleaned up after herself, picked up the house and left it in better shape then it was when we left. She had never given insulin shots before, we showed her one time and she never had a problem after. We even got home and she had left a Halloween gift basket for the kids! She logged their whole day with times and what they did all day, so we knew they were very well taken care of! I would recommend Melissa to everyone and she is definitely worth more then what she charges! Thank you Melissa for being a god send to us and our puppers!
Melissa has been an excellent friend since I met her half a decade ago. She is one of the kindest people I've met and maintains a character of integrity. She also is excellent with animals, as she has had at least 5 pets in her household the whole time I've known her, and has worked professionally with animals for the past 5 years.
Melissa is just an awesome animal caretaker, she has taken care of our three dogs and she does wonderful with them (even our strong willed spunky husky!). I've known Melissa for 5+ years and I can say with confidence that with her you will be able to enjoy the time away from your pets without out having to worry if they are being taken care of properly, she treats your fur babies as her own! Mel is such a reliable, respectful, and hardworking woman who is great to have around when you need it, I highly recommend her to anyone that has pet sitting needs!!
