Pet care experience

PAWSitively Pampered Fur Babies

I am professionally trained over 28 years of experience with pets. It's such a privilege to care for, entertain, cuddle and train the fur babies. We wouldn't trade it for anything! 💕 We know the feeling of having to leave our fur babies and we love to help you feel comfortable, keep them happy, healthy and safe while you are away. We are able to provide a well-balanced safe and fun environment. I've had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. My journey in pet care has not only given me a deep understanding of their needs but has also enriched my life in countless ways. **Special Skills: **Senior Care Senior pets hold a special place in my heart. ♥️ I'm well-versed in catering to their specific needs, be it administering medication, assisting with mobility, or simply providing them with the extra love and patience they deserve.

Melissa and her husband don’t just board/sit your dog- they get their own suite, get walks/hikes every day, AND they do training refreshes! We are so thankful for them and our dog gets so excited when she sees we have pulled up to their house. If you’re needing trustworthy, enriching dog sitting services, they are more than worth the drive from Raleigh (or anywhere!)

I can tell King had a great time. Melissa took very good care of King, had great communication, and even gave him a bath before pick up. Will be rebooking in the future!

Decompression and rest begins around 1 pm includes Indoor training, watching tv,📺 naps with Lots of love 😘⭐️ feeding begins around 5pm, potty break sniffing around and marking their favorite spots, around 8pm another late night potty, 💩 and getting settled for bed. We like to keep the dogs on a routine and what they are used to. 😍 Some of my favorite times are just sitting out in my chair watching the dogs play with each other and cuddling with them!

Please disclose any issues or needs your pet has during the meet and greet so we can best care for your fur babies. 🐾 Have they been boarded before ? We can separate aggressive dogs or rescue dogs that need to be apart from the pack. We can do that for you! If they need to be separate from other dogs, are socialized, crate trained, potty trained ? Are they a chewer on other items? Do they cry, anxious or loud barkers? Need medications 💊 or special needs? Senior dogs? Allergies? Fears? Choosing me as your pet sitter means entrusting your beloved pet to someone who sees this not just as a job, but as a passion. I promise to care for your pet ensuring they are happy, healthy, safe, and loved. 🐾
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
