Four legged children need love too!

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Melissa. I grew up with dogs my whole life and have a genuine love and compassion for all animals. I live in a 3 bedroom home with lots of space in addition to a large unfenced backyard. I have my own 3 year old yorkie mix male named Miko and I can offer plenty of cuddles and play time. I work Monday thru Friday (I work from home on Fridays) and I am off on weekends. I live close to work and am able to come home to check on the fur babies, so they will never be alone more than 4 hours. Although I am new to this site I have been pet sitting since my youth and would love to take care of your four legged children in your absence. From Maltese to Pit Bulls I have sat for and love them all. I do ask that we schedule a meet and greet for the pups to ensure that they will get along. I know it sometimes takes time for dogs to become at ease with other dogs and like to introduce them beforehand to get that process in motion.

Melissa is a wonderful person who cares about animals. She has kept my Zeus on several occasions and has always catered to him like he was her own. Melissa is one of his favorite humans and he always enjoys cuddling with her on the couch. I have never once had a concern for his safety or well-being when he was in her care.
