Specialist in Happy Tail Wags!

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for coming to review my profile. I am enthusiastic to provide top-quality care for your animal family members. Since childhood, I have been responsible for a wide variety of animals ranging from large and small dogs, horses, llamas, parakeets, cockatiels, African Grey parrots, Sun Conures, rats, hamsters, gerbils, tropical and freshwater fish, guinea pigs, snakes, and cats! From the age of eight, I was raised with the knowledge to provide general obedience training for dogs and more recently, I've received training as a pet care specialist at PetSmart as an employee. I care deeply for our animal friends and would be happy to share my compassion with your family.

Melissa is a great sitter that took excellent care of our big boy. Very easy to communicate and very supportive during this New Year’s Eve.

Melissa loved and cared for our pets exceptionally well! We loved her daily updates - they were detailed and fun, with plenty of pictures! Melissa did more than expected by emptying the trash when needed and giving our fur babies treats that she brought with her. We highly recommend Melissa!

Safety, trust & environment

When walking your precious dog(s), I am happy to retrieve them from your home, safely walk them either through your neighborhood or in a nearby park, and subsequently return them to your home either loose or in a crate, however you prefer. I will be happy to share multiple photos along our journey. If you honor me with the opportunity to provide vacation care for your animals in your home, I am happy to follow detailed instructions and provide you with daily updates and photos to ensure your comfort and peace of mind. Generally speaking, I would not be able to bring your pets to my home as I have two cats. When I am with your animals, I will dedicate my time and energy to ensure your animal family feels fully nurtured and loved in my care! Thank you for considering me to serve your family.

Information Melissa R. would like to know about your pet

I do find detailed written instructions to be helpful so that I may best meet your needs. If you have any special requests, please feel free to ask. I would love to know a little bit of history about your animal friend and any of their favorite tail wag triggers. Thank you for considering sharing your friend with me.

A typical day

I'm flexible if your dog has a favorite place they usually like to go. Of course, local parks are very nice for some longer leash activities, frisbee throws, and ball toss. I enjoy gentle grooming, a nice coat brush, and a good cuddle.
