Pet care experience
I've had many different kinds of dogs growing up. Our home often had a litter of kittens or puppies to raise. As an adult I have my own German shepherdmastiff pit bull mix, Budman. He's my heart and soul. Quite active and emotional. I've had animals that have been rescued, adopted or just needed a temp safe place with love. I am a dog training apprentice for Dog Savvy LA. Our proven, game-based system was developed by a world champion dog trainer and represents the most progressive approach to positive reinforcement dog training.
Reviews
We went away for a week and had Melissa cat and house sit for us. We also have a sick cat that needs meds. Melissa did an excellent job on all fronts and sent us picture and updates throughout the week. If you need someone that is diligent and knowledgeable about pet care especially pets that need meds book Melissa. We will for sure use her again.
Melissa came through for me. We adore her.
The pups and I are crazy about Melissa!
Thank you Melissa! Babka had a great week with you! ?

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to do housesitting or reverse board training. This way the dog or cat doesn’t have their environment or routine disrupted. I’m happy to take a dog to my place as well. I have a fenced in courtyard area and the home is dog friendly. It Just has a lot of steps :)

Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know their triggers! Anything that could take a dog over threshold is important information! All likes and dislikes are helpful for pet care.
A typical day
Walk, dog park maybe a run. I enjoy playtime so most likely a trip to the nearest dog park happens anytime I'm caring for a pup!
