I am your dog's favorite Auntie!
Pet care experience
I have over 25 years experience ranging from house sitting; walking my family's dog; to owning my own senior golden retriever who has since passed away. I love all four-legged furry friends and treat them like my own. I believe in keeping the same schedule the dog gets at home and enjoy going on walks with dogs. FYI, I am a teacher and work M-F and am away for a full day so if your dog can handle my schedule, than we are a perfect fit! My neighborhood is super dog friendly with lots of trails! Let’s plan a meet & greet!
Reviews
Melissa was great with our fairly high-maintenance pup! She was very receptive to all the "Dos and Donts" we threw her way and kept us up to speed on how our girl was doing day-to-day!
Melissa was amazing with our puppy and 3 year old dog! She handled their separate feedings and diets like a champ and sent us tons of photos while we were gone. We will definitely use Melissa again in the future!!
Melissa was great to work with and extremely flexible. She took great care of Jackson and kept is updated frequently. Highly recommend!
Melissa has watched our girls now twice and is a great sitter! Both dogs love her and she made sure that they received the attention and care they needed. She’s a great communicator and also left our home spotless, going above and beyond by cleaning up when she left! We will certainly use her again in the future.
