Dog's are the most precious.
Pet care experience
I am a 31 year old woman, product designer (but right now I'm taking a break). I have lived in community houses and apartments with other people with dogs and I'm usually the go-to person to care for the pets, I become the aunt and I love them like they're my own. I can sit and chill with a dog or I can run around and play, I'm game for whatever they're game for :-) I have a lot of free time right now because I just returned from digital nomading around the world and I'm taking some time off from working in tech, so my schedule is very flexible. I was also a massage therapist so I love giving doggy massages. I can do frequent sitter visits in the LA area (the closer to West LA the better since I live in WeHo), and I can do longer in house pet sitting out in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas.
Reviews
Melissa is very attentive and has a great relationship with Coconut. She loves fur babies of all kinds and is our go-to gal when we need a sitter.
My dog Oliver is in absolutely love with Melissa. It's incredible to see the bond with those two together. I trust Melissa with my dog as much as myself watching my baby boy. Melissa will be Oliver's sitter for the rest of his life. Thank you Melissa for your wonderful work and updates whenever you take care of him!
About Melissa V.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can take in a small, well trained non-shed dog into my apartment in weHo. Aside from this I can go spend time at someone's house.
Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if dogs are not potty trained or if they have any behavior issues that I should be aware of, if they are highly anxious.
A typical day
Typical things like go on a walk and play catch, but it really depends on the individual dog and if they have any cool things they like to do.
Services
Melissa can watch in your home
Availability
I'm intentionally not working so I have a lot of free time :-) I'm just sitting around updating my portfolio and resume on my laptop in recent days, mentally preparing for getting back into tech work after a couple months hiatus to rest, along with leaving the house for exercise classes and salsa classes.
