Highlights
Pet care experience
Medical studnt who loves fur babies
I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 16, I’ve regularly looked after dogs for neighbors, friends, and acquaintances, providing services such as walking, in-home sitting, and overnight care. I have experience training puppies of various ages and temperaments, helping them build good habits in a patient and positive way. While I haves some, but slightly less hands-on experience with senior dogs, I am an extremely dedicated and empathetic caregiver with a medical background, which gives me a deeper understanding of attentive care, routine, and safety. I know how important your fur babies are, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa was fantastic and super patient with our slower 9-year old dog. Berry loved getting outside for a quick walk and sniff!
Melissa has been amazing. Always goes above and beyond. Leo absolutely adores her and loves going on walks with her.
Maine had a great walk and she was very accommodating and nice.
This is my second time asking Melissa to walk my dog. She was, as always, punctual and very responsible. Bolt, as soon as he saw her, ran to greet her, showing affection, and he definitely recognized her. ❤️. I will ask her to take care of Bolt whenever I need it, as long as she is available.
Melissa is absolutely amazing! She is very attentive to both of my dogs needs (varying ages, 3 months and 4 years old) goes at their pace, and I can truly see if much see cares for animals. She goes above and beyond during her staying, cleaning any messes the puppy might make even though she doesn’t have to, helps train her, gives my other dog that’s a little slower to warm up attention and cuddles at her pace, spends quality time with them. She has surpassed all of my expectations and my babies are so lucky to have her. 100000000/10 recommend!
Thanks uuu Melissa! She is very punctual and responsible, in every home visit she was always sending me photos of my babies and playing with them
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am in a clinical rotation from 9-3:30 in the month of February. But I would be able to take your pet on a potty breaks before work, and make sure all of their necessities are taken care of. After work I would have longer walk with them and lots of play time.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine, comfort, and safety. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep the home clean and secure, provide regular updates, and ensure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection in their familiar environment.
Pets
A typical day
I love to go on long walks and take your fur babies to the dog park and play fetch and run together. I love being active and pets. Just make it that much more enjoyable. My dog and I love playing tug-of-war. When the weather is not so nice, I like to go on car rides or a fun mind-stimulating inside game such as finding treats that have been hidden away.
