Pet care experience

I would love to care for your pets

Hi, my name is Melissa. I have had cats and dogs as long as I can remember. Almost every childhood picture is with some animal big or small. I currently foster with 4 local rescues and spent last year volunteering at a local animal shelter in the dog and cat care programs. I am a responsible and detail oriented person who loves being surrounded by animals. Walks are 30 minutes or less,,and a Drop in visit is a short walk or a let out in your back yard.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with small, medium and large dogs and cats of all breeds. I have had lots of experience administering medications over the years. We currently have 4 dogs and 4 cats. All my animals are rescues and I can't imagine not having an animal in my home. I am fully vaccinated and have my booster shot.

Chubbie absolutely loves his walks with Melissa, almost more than with me I think. It makes him feel like such a prince! And then it makes me feel good when he sleeps afterward while I work!

It's been great having Melissa be my pup's buddy. He's so much happier being walked and cuddled by a new friend. Melissa is very communicative which is great for me since it's my first time using this app. I would highly recommend her

If it weren't for Melissa, I'd be lost! Chubbie is so happy to see her, I sometimes wonder if he's happier to see her than me, lol! She is so thoughtful and thorough, I always get a picture and cute stories from their walks.

Thank you Melissa, Chubbie already knows you! The minute you pulled up and walked in he went nuts! Thank you for spending extra time with him when you can tell he’s having a blast! You make ME feel like a better fur mommy!
