Information Melissa V. would like to know about your pet
I have a 7 year old daughter part time so your pet must be okay with children. She is used to animals in the home as our senior family dog recently passed.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning walk and breakfast. Depending on my schedule there will be another later in the afternoon between 3-5 pm unless your pet has special needs. Dinner around 4-5 pm and an evening walk. Last peepee will be between 9-10 pm.

Pet care experience
I think I am a special host because I love dogs and will work hard to provide the best possible care. Your dog will receive lots of attention and supervision. I also enjoy going on long walks to Stanley Park and giving lots of affection and cuddles but can tailor exercise depending on your dog's needs. If your dog stays with me, it will be like they are staying in a fancy hotel. I live in a modern, newly renovated, pet friendly building. I will walk your dog(s) a minimum of 3 times a day and give lots of treats (unless you have dietary restrictions). I specialize in making dogs comfortable even if they have separation anxiety. I have experience dealing with dogs with special needs. You can expect photo updates of your dog during their stay so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same home. However, if there is an overlap by just a day or two please still send a message. Because of this, I tend to book up quite quickly! I am almost always available for meet-n-greets. Just send me a general inquiry! I would love to meet you and your fur baby!
Reviews
Zoya felt like home! Thanks so much Melissa!
We were travelling through Van and had Melissa watch our senior Pomeranian while we checked out Vancouver Aquarium. She was communicative and great and our anxious dog came back to us very happy. Thank you, Melissa!
Melissa was great! She was super sweet and provided consistent updates. This was our first time using Rover, and Melissa made us feel very comfortable. We would love to leave Toby with her again.
Melissa was very efficient with communicating. She sent updates and pictures. We would definitely book with her again.
