I Love Meeting New Dogs!
Pet care experience
I am looking to make some extra money doing something I love - spending time with doggos! I adore all dogs and will give yours extra pets, loves, and attention. I know your pup is your best friend and a VIP member of your family. With me they are safe, loved, and living their best life! I have my own fur baby, Luna and she is my world. It’s hard to let someone else care for her so I understand any hesitancy when finding someone new to care for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own. I am a dog aunt to two pugs, a Chinese crested, and a Boston terrier/pug mix. I have never met a dog I didn't love. Let me love your fur baby too because we all know they could never get too much! I have volunteered at The Humane Society of Central Illinois and with senior pet therapy through Chicago Cares. I also have my masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My availability does vary day by day. I am free some mornings, some afternoons, and some evenings.
Reviews
Melissa was the best caretaker for our dog while we were out of town. She took him on a walk and played fetch with him every day. We received a very thorough update on how he was doing and several pictures each day. We could tell he was having a great time. We were able to meet her in person before we left and our dog took to her immediately. She was very accommodating and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Melissa if you are in need of a dog sitter.

I will give your dog a lot of pets and attention. I will treat your pet like my own. Your dog will be happy to have made a new friend. I’ll also play with them, do tricks with them, give them a treat (if allowed). Anything to make them happy!
Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about your dog's personality, any health/medical information or dietary restrictions, any behavioral issues, and whether or not they get along with other dogs.
A typical day
With me by your dog's side, "Rover" will receive lots of fun walks, dog park visits if in walking distance of your home, and lots of cuddles. We can practice and/or learn basic tricks, like sit, shake, stay, lay down, play dead, roll over, or speak. Lets play fetch or tug of war! We can even watch his/her favorite movie or show whether it be “The Dog Whisperer” with Cesar Millan or “Homeward Bound.” -Remember, dogs are people too. :)
