care for your four-legged friend!
Pet care experience
I grew up with many dogs in my family when I was younger. One of the dogs my brother had years ago was a puppy, but couldn't take care of her, so I took over. I learned how to train puppies and older dogs as time went on; even when she grew old, I was taught to watch her diet as she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I would inject her with insulin twice a day and she lived a happy, healthy life. I have taken in abandoned dogs and cared for them until they were ready to trust others and find good homes. I've learned some of the dog breeds to adapt to their behavior and their proper needs as well. I am also familiar with cats, but I have always grown up in a dog environment, so I am adaptable to these situations! I have a flexible schedule, so I will have time on my hands for your pet(s)! I will make sure to keep myself available as much as possible. I will be ready to take your dog(s) on walks, make sure they are fed, and keep them company throughout the week! I have been raised with dogs for years and have done personal jobs for my neighbors in my childhood. I keep an eye on your pet and take full responsibility for whatever happens. I intend to follow any orders and responsibilities you give me to ensure that your pet is in good hands. I want pet owners to be stress-free and understand that they can trust me to do whatever they want me to do for their fur babies. I have always wanted a dog of my very own since I was younger, and my dreams of becoming a professional dog trainer and veterinarian, I take this job seriously. I will do all that I can and whatever you need to trust me and to make sure your pet is comfortable with me.
Reviews
Melissa has been great with walking my two dogs. They like her, and she is diligent about making sure they have eliminated completely before the end of each walk. She brings water for them on hot days, which I appreciate. Melissa is responsible and always prepared- I highly recommend her.
Great job Melissa I definitely could hire Melissa again to take care of my lovely daisy,
Hey there! I couldn’t think of a better path for Melissa as her love for animals, especially canines makes her a perfect candidate. She is extremely hardworking and passionate, determined to take great care of the people and pets she may work with. I have personally found Melissa to have great values that coincide with her work ethic and her desired path for the future; I find Melissa an excellent choice for the job!
I'd like to recommend Melissa as a caregiver for her responsibility and love for animals needs. She makes sure they are well kept and cared for by keeping tabs on their food and water intake as well as making sure they feel loved by taking them on walks and hugging them. I know this for a fact because Melissa and I where on a call while she took care of her mothers friends dogs. She never took her focus off the dogs no matter what and kept amazing watch of what the dogs where doing at all times. While they where playing she kept both dogs needs in mind and met them both perfectly. She is a very responsible and loving caregiver and I strongly believe you should consider her one.

I'll have plenty of time for your pups over the summer break! I have plenty of free time so as long you reach out to me a day before you want a booking for your pet, I will most certainly be at service. (would be preferable 2 days before booking for House Sitting)
