I'll treat your dog like it's my ow

Pet care experience

I am definitely a huge animal lover. I do not have work experience with any animals but I have owned both dogs and cats my whole life and can't get enough of playing with them. I am free most days and weekends in the afternoon and evenings. I especially love going on walks because I've been trying to stay in shape lately, and walking with your pup would be a lot more fun for me. I love cuddling and playing as well and I will treat your dog like it's my own. I can adapt to take care of most dogs, including ones that can be a little bit difficult. I can't wait to take care of your dog and have a great time! Thanks!

I would highly recommend Melissa. Jackie (our 12 year old pup) does not warm up easily to people, but that was not so with Melissa. Jackie even gave Melissa her tummy to rub very quickly. That says a lot!! Melissa was very attentive and Jackie enjoyed each visit and walk. I will absolutely ask Melissa to take care of our Jackie. You will be very happy with Melissa..

She's very loving and caring to my two 6 & 7 year old dogs I have and my house. When I ask her to go take care of them and feed them when I'm out of town she's very responsible about leaving everything where I want it to be left like locked doors, food placements, how they should be fed, what they should be fed, in what order they should be fed in, and leaving things where they should be.

Melissa has always loved animals. She always wanted to work with animals, and used to want to be a veterinarian when she was little. I have no doubt that Melissa would provide the utmost care and compassion to any and all animals under her care.

Melissa W. is one of the best pet parents I've ever met. Her love of animals is unquestionable in my opinion. Her knowledge of them is also impressive. I believe she may actually have an equal understanding of cats as a day trader would the stock market. But, please note: If you hire this woman beware...you may come home to a pet that is thoroughly tuckered out from a full day of play, and therefore too tired to play with you. You may notice your cats are suspiciously quiet (which I can only imagine is attributed to Melissa's excessive use of feline laser pointers) when returning home. Yes you have a happy pet, but at what cost? There is now no play time left for you. Do you feel your dog receives too many scratches and belly rubs as is? Melissa definitely won't help there. She dishes out belly rubs and scratches to dogs as often as a postal worker delivers mail. I would suggest only hiring her if you want your pets treated like royalty. She seems to know no other way.
