ANIMAL LOVER AND OWNER

Pet care experience

My family got our first dog when I was 13. I have always loved animals, but that's when my experience with dogs started, nearly 16 years ago. I will treat your special pet like I would my own, as a member of the family. I am very energetic, timely and love to play and have fun with my furry friends! I currently volunteer at Save a Pet in Port Jefferson and have done volunteer work with animals (mostly cats and dogs) for the past 13 years. I work weekends at the moment and would love to use my free time during the week to spend with dogs, since I can't have one of my own at the moment (due to financial reasons). I do have 2 cats, but they will be in a seperate bedroom if your pet is coming to my house.

Melissa is a very nice person who has watched my pets before. She was such a great handler my dog would always get excited when she came to pick him up. Never had any issues with scheduling and being on time. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter!

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much about your dog as possible, so I can take care of them to the best of my ability by meeting their personal needs. Any breed is fine, but if your dog has a tendency to bite or become extremely aggressive, please look elsewhere. Also, I am not a large person, so if you have a dog over 60 pounds and they need to be walked, please make sure they are calm and not highly excitable. (Sorry, the range on here for large dog is 41-100 pounds, so I couldn't really pick and choose).

A typical day

I love taking walks, even without dogs, so nice long walks are a definite. I also love to play and be active, or just hang out - whatever my furry four legged friend is into, so am I :)
