LOVING FUR MOM FOR HIRE

Pet care experience

I've owned pets my entire life. The past eleven years I've been a crazy dog mom to the four best pups ever, they are my entire world, please nobody tell my husband & kids 🤣. I am very passionate about pet care and would love any pet like my own while they were in my care My oldest dog has diabetes so I'm very familiar with administering injections in a dog. I'm a stay at home wife whose kids are grown so I have extra time now so I decided to do this! I love pets and thought this would be great for me. I'm very flexible and have alot of availability. I would care for and take care of your pets with the same responsibility and love I do my own. as a fur mom myself I get the stress of trusting someone else, I will live up to that trust

Melissa did an absolutely amazing job watching my 3 cats! Normally when I come home after a weekend away they are very needy from being lonely but with Melissa they were as happy as could be!

I scheduled a meet and greet through the Rover App so that I could see how Zoey responded to Melissa - Zoey is a chihuahua and does not like everyone! She barked at Melissa who said, “Zoey, what’s the problem?” Zoey stopped barking and they became fast friends - which is not how it usually goes with new people! Melissa was very interested in hearing all about Zoey’s likes, dislikes, fears and schedule. I now feel like I can relax during my son’s wedding knowing Zoey will be well cared for! THANKS MELISSA!❤️

Melissa was awesome! She took great care of my two cats while I was away. Not only did she feed my cats, she took the time to play and interact with them, and send me pictures. She even vacuumed up the stray little pieces of litter around the litter boxes—something I don’t always do! Best of all Melissa is a good communicator. She asked questions and always answered my texts. I felt very comfortable having her take care of my kitties. Would 100 percent rebook her!

Most importantly, our little Zoey bonded with Melissa instantly and found a new best friend. She was professional, punctual, detail oriented with excellent communication skills. Above all we were confident in Melissa, we trusted her completely and left our fur baby in her hands. We had a great experience, Melissa is the best and we’ll be back again.

I will care for your pets with the same amount of safety and concern as I do my own. I understand the amount of trust you will be putting in me and I take that so seriously.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

Let's discuss in advance your dogs special needs or likes and dislikes. Every dog has an individual personality and knowing the most I can from you can help me work with them.

A typical day

I will love on your pets in the same way I love on my own ( which according to my family is crazy lol) I love taking walks, playing fetch, rubbing belly's and just cuddling. I'm an avid hiker and if your dog would enjoy that I'm always up for company.
