Lover of Small Dogs and Rescue Pups

Pet care experience

I got my first Maltese when I was 11 years old as our family pet. When I moved to NYC in 2004 I started to become a foster volunteer with Maltese Resucue in Manhattan. Over the course of that time, I have fostered over 12 dogs. (Good news is, I only have kept one!) I am currently working full time but my hours are typically 9-5:30pm. I live in a large studio apartment so it's comfortable for any size dog. Located in Murry Hill / Midtown East. Your dog would have complete freedom (should you so chose) in the apartment during the day and can expect lots of snuggles and cuddles when I get home from work! Your baby will be treated EXACTLY how I would want mine to be loved.

Melissa took care of our little Coco for 10 days and did an incredible job. She is kind, professional and a total dog lover. She is very communicative and sent us pictures and updates daily. Coco was well taken care of during our time away and we are so thankful for Melissa's help! I highly recommend Melissa!

I've known Melissa for many years now. Her love for dogs is something that all of us want to have in a dog sitter. She's loving, compassionate, caring, uplifting, fun, and will make sure any persons dog is cared for properly. I'd recommend Melissa to anyone. You will not be disappointed. Trust me.
