Pet care experience

Furry Co-worker Wanted!

I grew up with pets and have been a pet owner most of my life. We recently had to say goodbye to our Boston terrier due to cancer, and I’m missing having a furry friend to hang out with at home.

I’ve known Melissa for over 30 years, and she has a truly kind heart and a special way with pets—they absolutely adore her! I’ve shared several pets with her, and they’ve all been well cared for and have the happiest spirits. Meet her, and within minutes I think you’ll see exactly what I mean. There’s no better friend to trust with your pet than her! 🐾

Melissa is the most thoughtful and attentive dog/pet sitter. A dog/pet would be lucky to have her attention. Melissa is trustworthy and does what she says she will do :-)
