Loving pet-sitter works remotely

Pet care experience

I have rescued dogs and had a Pomchi for 13 years with an Alaskan Malamute. I regularly take care of friends and family pets in the area when they are out of town and am happy to meet some new dog friends! I work from home Monday through Friday SO my schedule is flexible for staying in your home while your away! I'm also happy to visit your dog before 8am, on my lunch between 12-1pm and anytime after 5pm. On the weekends I am very flexible! I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your sweet pets! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I'm there! I am very neat and tidy and respect your nutritional guidelines for your pets.

Phenomenal. Melissa took excellent care of our picky pup and home while we were on our trip. She agreed to a few meets/walks before our trip to make sure Minnie got to know her and communicated with us often, making us more comfortable leaving Minnie on our first long trip since we adopted her. Minnie has a bit of separation anxiety, but was fine with Melissa!! Highly recommend and will definitely be asking her to puppy sit for us again!

Melissa was great with our yorkie Lucy. Melissa administered medications for seizures 3 times a day. Lucy seemed pretty happy and chill when we got home.

Melissa was amazing with our two fur babies! She gave them all the snuggles and made sure they were just as happy as if we were home. She informed me daily on how they were doing for her, and even helped calm my bully who has separation anxiety. She notified me any time she had to leave and sent picture updates while we were gone. My two fur babies abasolutely adored her and we will definitely be using her again the next time we go out of town. Thank you so much Melissa!!

Melissa loves dogs. She gives our dogs loving attention as soon as she walks through the door. Melissa loves to get outside and go on long walks- especially with a canine companion.
