Friendly & trusting sitter/walker!
Pet care experience
I don't have much pet care experience when it comes to caring for other people's pets. But I've owned a pet of my own my whole life so I know what it's like to entrust a stranger with your fur baby! I promise to treat every pet with the same love and gentleness I would my own! No matter if you need overnight boarding, a walk, or just a pop in visit, I will provide my best services possible with love! Most of my pet care experience includes dog walking and drop in visits for family or neighbors' pets.
About Melissa P.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live right by TTU's campus so there is a lot of friendly and open places to take dogs on walks. I live alone with no other pets so if your dog is a bit more on the shy or nervous side, they wouldn't need to worry about too many interactions. There aren't any fenced in locations near my apartment so pets would need to be leashed when being taken out!
Home
Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog sheds a lot that way I can be prepared on my end! Also if your dog is more on the shy side and doesn't do great with other animals I can know to keep my distance from other dogs when being taken on walks. If your dog has any particular behaviors or specific allergies, are they taking medication and what are the instructions, are they special needs and might need more attention in certain areas? Let me know! :)
A typical day
Some fun activities will obviously include fun walks and playing through the parks around cookeville! I like to do running outside when the weather is right, and I think some pets might enjoy that! Walking around campus and meeting some fellownpet lovers is always fun too.

Availability
I'm currently enrolled at Tennessee Tech University so my schedule is fairly flexible depending on which days I have classes. Dog walks and drop ins work easiest for me but since I live alone it's easy to do overnight boarding if its just for a day or two. I'm out of town most weekends but if you ask me in advance I can stay to do overnight boarding on some!
