Pet care experience
I absolutely love all animals. They are like any other person, they are to be treated with respect, love, and care. My family is full of pet sitters as close as my sister and together we have almost 30 years of experience. I have 2 small dogs of my own, a Shihtzu-poodle ( Snoopy) and a Yorkie (Punkin) and I also have a caged dwarf rabbit (Billy rabbit) who my dogs love to lounge and play with- but no worries he stays up when I have my furry visitors! You have nothing to worry about when it comes to my dogs, they love to play and get along with all pets and I haven't come across another pet they didn't get along with big and small. I have had many breeds in my care from Boxers, German Shepards, Bernese Mountain, Yorkie, Golden Retriever, Australian Cattle, and more! Your pet will be in great care and have a blast at my house or if I come to your house! I can give medicine and take care of any pets that have stitches or staples. I treat ALL ANIMALS as if they are my children, I take them everywhere with me, go to the dog park, go out for ice cream- so basically they will be super spoiled. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies and please contact me with any questions you might have for me. I work from home and my schedule is super open and flexible! I have one client whom I keep her dogs twice a week but she is so great that when other pet sitting requests come up she works with me as well to rearrange those days as needed! I go to the dog park weekly for lots of running space if you're ok with that! If you want your pet in the kennel I can do that but if you allow them in your bed they will be sleeping with me in my bed! I have had 5/6 dogs in my king size bed while I had the corner and it makes for great cuddles and funny pictures! I love to snuggle, go for walks and I have a ton of toys!
Reviews
Melissa is AMAZING! We found ourselves the unplanned parents of a 2 year old pitbull. He was a goofy dog and very funny but not trained at all. We needed to go away and Melissa was available at the last minute. We were worried Corrado would be too much for anyone to handle (think ADHD X 100). Melissa took such good care of Corrado, gave us daily updates, did some training (for both the parents and the dog) and overall, just loved on him. When he comes home from their visits, he sleeps for 2 days! We were trying to re-home Corrado, but with Melissa's help and encouragement, we have found a new love for this wild one and he will be with us forever. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this 'dog whisperer'.
Melissa was awesome! She sent daily updates while we were away on vacation, and often sent videos and pictures. My dog was spoiled while I was gone, and I was so happy to come back to an absolutely exhausted pup from all the fun he had. I would 100% recommend and hope Melissa can sit for my dog again!
Melissa was great! She gave me daily updates with pictures of my pup! She took excellent care of him and he was returned worn out from playing with the other dogs there. He was even returned cleaner than I sent him and his white coat was glistening. Not sure what she did on that front but nothing but positives from me!
I was so very happy with Melissa. My cat and dog were taken well care of and happy! She walked brushed spent quality time with them. Sent me pictures and video of them and their happy faces. Means a lot when she came back and my dog greeted her with the welcome back to the pack bark. Thank you Melissa I will be using you again. Kimberly T.
