Lots of love to give!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a long-time dog owner and have found myself dog-less for the first time...I don't like it! Originally from Michigan, I had to leave my beloved lady lab behind when I moved to Chicago. It feels like something is missing without a dog around, so I am full of love to give to your pup! I LOVE snuggles, walks, and play time, and will love your pup like it is my own. I have my own reliable transportation, and am available weekends and in the evenings. Growing up, we always had animals and I've owned a dog for 18 years. In high school and college, I frequently dog-sat and did home visits for all types of dogs. I have experience with larger dogs like Labs, Retrievers, and pit bulls, all the way down to Pomeranians and Terriers. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special health needs. Whatever your pup requires, I am more than happy to provide!

Melissa was great a great in-home sitter for our pup! She sent us regular pic updates throughout the day and left our apartment clean at the end of the long weekend.

Melissa did a great job house and cat sitting for us. House was spotless when we came back (even washed the sheets) and the cats were very calm and happy.

Melissa is so great! Melissa stayed with my energetic 2yo pup while I was out of town for a week. During that time, Melisa was also super accommodating in helping to coordinate the completion of an art project at my house. Loves dogs, sends daily pics, is delightful. Thank you!

I have a 12 year old special needs dog and Melissa was truly the best! She make sure she got her insulin smoothly and on time, kept her on her feeding schedule, gave her love and send me pics and updates often..she even took her for a walk and send me a video..Melissa took very good care of my Gema and my home, she gave me peace while I was away on vacation:)
