Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks, playtime, and lots of care
I’m a veteran and recent psychology college graduate who’s always loved animals. I started walking dogs while volunteering at an animal shelter, where I spent over five years working with dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I’ve also cared for dogs through Wag and for friends’ pets and I have experience fostering cats. I love taking cute pet photos and would be happy to send you some during my visits (:
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’ll follow your pet’s routine and the instructions you leave. I’ll keep them leashed on walks and send you updates while you’re away. I’m happy to play fetch or tug, give them cuddles, or just keep them company. I can also take them to a nearby park. If you’d like them to visit a dog park, let me know.
Ratings and reviews
She was so patient and kind with our hyper puppy! Great job would def recommend!
Melissa is the best dog sitter and walker out there. My husband and I were out of town, so she watched my hyper active dog. He ended up getting sick and projectile vomiting. She contacted me very quickly and helped remedy to situation. Gave him pumpkin and rice after a couple of hours to settle his stomach. She sent me photo and video updates. When we came back, Jack was healthy again thanks to Melissa. When ever I am out of town, I choose Melissa to watch my dog. She will take care of your dogs needs and respond to any situation that arises without panic. My dog loves her and so do we.
Melissa did great when she took care of the dogs at our local adoption center. She played with each of the dogs and was gentle and loving, especially with the scared ones. She made sure each of the dogs in her care got enough attention, and none was left out. She even taught a few basic tricks to the dogs. I highly recommend Melissa to take care of your dogs; they will be happy with her. She is responsible and reliable and very mature for her age. Melissa is an excellent dog sitter!
