Dogs are my favorite people 🐶❤️

Pet care experience

Hello! Thanks to my mother, I learned how to feed, bathe, walk and train dogs at a very young age. I am extremely comfortable around dogs and providing them with the proper care and love they require. My dog (Juice) and I are always having fun, I even made up some games for us to play at home and when we walk. I have worked in the medical field for over 10 years and can safely administer medications or care for any wounds if needed. I have also read and studied countless amounts of literature discussing everything from different dog behaviors to teaching new tricks to dog CPR. Being around dogs brings me so much happiness and treat every single one as if they were my own. I can promise that your furry friend would have a blast hanging out with me!

Melissa took great care of our dog. She was timely, attentive, and clearly passionate about dogs. I'll be sure to contact her the next time we leave town.

Melissa was a wonderful sitter for my Lucy dog! I could see her love for dogs immediately in the way she interacted and talked to my dog. Melissa was very attentive to my baby girl,Lucy, taking her out on walks, playing with her and being a great companion for her while I was at work. She was reliable and trustworthy and I really appreciated her love and affection for Lucy.
