About Melissa P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are integrated into my family unit which consists of a super-friendly cat, and a 4 pound Pomeranian. I also have two teenaged daughters who love animals as much as I do and enjoy cuddling on the couch with dogs or cats and sharing a bed. If your dog likes walks, I LOVE walking up to three miles which I can also jog if required.
Home
Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
I must know how your dog interacts with other dogs outdoors and if there is anything that I must be aware of or to avoid.
A typical day
We will go for many walks and check out all the new smells in the neighborhood! If permitted, we will travel to some fun walking paths to go for long walks.

Vet assistant and certified teacher
Pet care experience
I worked as a veterinarian assistant from the late 90's until the mid 2000's. I have been a certified high school teacher since 1999 and worked as a vet assistant after school during the week and full time on weekends. I have lots of experience working with animals of all types. I have my Master's of Science, my Bachelor's of art and am currently pursuing a doctorate while teaching. I have the Summers off and all the holidays that the Lee county schools take. I am energetic and athletic and love jogging and walking with dogs. I have never lived a day of my life without multiple animals in the house. I could not possible live without cuddling a dog or cat on the daily!
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Melissa was wonderful and Princess was happy with her!
We boarded our baby Bella with Melissa for the first time. Melissa was wonderful and immediately connected with Bella. It is clear she genuinely loves animals, and that care and attention really show in her work. I highly recommend Melissa and will definitely use her services again.
Thank you Melissa for being so accommodating and flexible with our short notices! Miska was well taken cared of and happy. We enjoyed all the updates and pictures.
Melisa was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Leo! She spent so much quality time with him….playing, walking, and really making sure he felt comfortable and cared for. I could tell he was happy and well loved while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. It means a lot to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and Melisa truly did that. I would 100% trust her with Leo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾💛
