I'm unemployed. If this can become a consistent job, I'll be ecstatic! Dogs love unconditionally and deserve the same from us. They provide supreme comfort.

Safety, trust & environment

I feel dogs should be inside. Can stay longer times outside depending on weather. If they're outside we can't love on them like we should.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and what behavior's to look for and how to take care of them. I'd like a written daily schedule for your dog so I'll no how to schedule my day.

A typical day

Let them play outside for a little while. Throw the ball/play fetch. Love on them as much as they will let me. Give them treats, if allowed, and so there's no confusion on what they can have, owner should provide the treats.

Pets

At a party, I'm with the dogs!

Pet care experience

I cry in 97% of movies with animals, therefore I will not watch them. I love dogs and will treat and love on yours like my own. I don't believe in hitting a dog for discipline or any other reason. Just give me the necessary queues/words to use to get them to follow commands.

Melissa is excellent. She stayed in our home with our 3 dogs (2 large and 1 medium size) for a week and a half and it was clear how much they love her with the information she frequently shared with us and the awesome pics of our happy pups. She gave medications twice daily for our elderly guy, and clearly tried hard to make sure the dogs needs were more than just met. And it didn't end with the dogs but she cared for our home the same way. She reached out with questions where appropriate, watered our plants, and even changed our Roomba vacuum bag when it was full. She was so conscientious and easy going. We returned to a home as clean as we left it and really relaxed and happy pooches. We highly recommend Melissa for in-home dog sitting, she exceeded our expectations at every turn.

Melissa did a wonderful job with my Shephard, Chula and Bear my Corgi. Bear actually let her snuggle with him. She took care of somethings for us while we were gone. I would definitely call on her again!
