Pet care experience

Your pet will be part of my family!

Caring for pets has always been a part of my life! I’ve grown up with dogs at home and have looked after them with love and responsibility. Friends and family have trusted me many times to care for their pets while they’re away, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time playing and keeping them company. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

Hi, I’m Melissa’s brother. We’ve had three dogs, and she’s loved every single one of them. She’s super responsible and really loves animals. She moved out about a year ago, and ever since, she asks about our beagle, Polo, every single day—honestly, she asks more about him than about me! So yeah, I’m sure she’d be great with any dog.

Schedule

I’m currently not working a traditional job, which allows me to have the time and flexibility to care for pets with love and attention. I’m looking for a job that brings me joy and purpose, while still giving me the freedom to be there for my family.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special needs they may have. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and never alone. I also like to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friend is in good hands.

A typical day

Going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, or just relaxing together if they prefer calm company. If they’re active, I’ll keep them engaged with games

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and any special needs they might have. Please let me know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications, as well as how they usually behave with new people or other animals. I’d also love to know what comforts them, what they enjoy most, and if there’s anything they dislike or fear. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and loved.
