Pet’s temporary best friend

Pet care experience

Your best friend’s temporary best friend while you’re away. Daycare • $45 for up to 4 hours; $80 for 8 hours. • Several potty breaks and one long walk, two walks if full day. • I do have a toddler and a senior dog so a meet and greet is a must. • No cages. • Live next to a fire station so loud sirens all the time. House sitting • Keeping fur friends safe. • Making sure your pet stays occupied instead of getting into trouble. • Leaving your home as clean as you left it. (No one likes to come home to a dog’s mess.) • Cuddling pets all night long • Feeding as well as giving medications • 9 out of 10 times I’ll usually sleep on the couch with your pup. Drop in visits • Giving your pet mental stimulation while you’re out. • Filling up their bellies and letting them out for bathroom breaks. Dog walking • Making sure they are safe out on the street. • Exercising those little legs. • Keeping aggressive dogs away from other dogs. • Depending on preference we can run or walk. I’ve grown up with dogs but nine years ago I got my own best friends, Sailor and Kitty. I know how stressful it is to leave out of town or out for a couple hours wondering if they are safe and happy. I’ll take care of your pets and home as I would expect mine to be. I also take tons of photos of your pet as we are out and at home so you feel at easy while away. I’ve lived in Seattle for a year now and now have several regular dogs I take care of that I think of as my own. I sometimes joke that I’m going to switch my dog for my rover dog.

Melissa is fantastic on all fronts. She is a very good communicator, takes great care of pets and home, and clearly loves dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Sansa had an amazing time at Melissa’s place and was tired out each evening after coming home! Would definitely book with her again!
