Melissa can care for
Availability
My schedule I’m typically is M,T,F,S but I’m always willing to work around my schedule for your needs. I try to take dog walks on my days off or lunch if close to my work, and drop ins after work. For any dog sitting owners looking for care, please be aware I do work 10-12 hrs, so it would have to be someone comfortable with me coming before and after.

About Melissa S.

Safety, trust & environment
Whatever safety needs are required I can do. Whether that is a certain harness, crating your pet, or providing medications to your furry friend. I also bring a strong kong leash for dog walks to provide the guarantee of no leash breaking, no dogs slipping loose, and having full control of your pet with no worries of dog mishaps
Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special requirements such as diet/allergies, fears/triggers, behavior with other dogs/people and the best way to greet your pet. Every dog is different and the first priority is having them feel comfortable and keeping everyone safe. I am more than willing to take as much time as needed to have your dog feel comfortable and trust me in their care
A typical day
I love to explore the fun spots to walk in your neighborhood with your pup, so let me know if they have a favorite spot or path to take. I love playing with dogs as well so they can have their fun and burn their energy out. My cat friends either love play time, nap time or pet me time!

Pet care experience
I’ve been a vet tech for 8 years with 3 years in emergency and ICU so I have experience working with all dogs/cats of all sizes and ages. Due to this I also am comfortable with any pets with medical needs whether medications/injections and identifying emergency situations if they are to arise. I’ve also been a rescue volunteer for 10 years as well. My specialty in both is working with more fearful/anxious pets. I know how scary new people can be for them and willing to take my time to get them to trust me and know I care
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Melissa was great! She took her time getting to know our timid and fearful pup! She made me feel at ease and provided great care! We will definitely be using her services again!!!
Melissa is the best! She communicated on every visit and even had great suggestions for us, first time cat family. Very respectful and gave our Arthur lots of love. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Melissa was fantastic with Nova! She was able to help us out on short notice, and in a very odd predicament we were in. I cannot recommend her enough!
This was a last minute request on the morning of the day we needed someone and Melissa came to the rescue. She was communicative and very detailed in providing status of our fur baby. Thank you so much Melissa. We will definitely be requesting with you again.
