who doesn’t love play time!?!

Pet care experience

Melissa: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life; cats and dogs mostly.I dog sit lregularly as well as do check in's for cats. I care for dogs of all sizes - even your giant breeds. I am very athletic so if you have a high energy dog I can work with that or cuddle on the couch with your lazy pup. We have energetic pups who loves walkies and exploring the city as well as sleeping on the couch, their crates, or our bed. Every dog is unique so We look forward to getting to know and play with each and every one of your dogs and hopefully they will love to play with me and my fiancé Felicia. Felicia: I have been taking care of pets with Melissa for the last 6 years and have loved every minute of it. I am always learning about new things with each kiddo I've watched and love to be that comfort for any pet when their parents are gone. And if they love to walk I am your girl!

Melissa was amazing! The dogs were very happy when we came home, and she even helped us with the guinea pig. I highly recommend.

Melissa: I currently work full time at a veterinary hospital but am looking to add flexibility to my schedule with furry kid - cats and dogs - visits after work and on the weekends. If your kiddos is good saying home during the day I can be their buddy at night and on the weekends! I currently work 8-6 Monday - Thursday. Felicia: I work full time Wednesday - Saturday. My days can be long but since I have 3 days off that gives them a nice balance
