I would love to know your dogs routine and mannerisms. If they take any medication or are on a certain schedule let me know. I am able to give oral medications as well as injections

I am willing to do whatever your pet wants to do! We can walk, play, cuddle, whatever they want! If they are staying at my house, they will have other dogs to play with as well!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melissa, I have had pets all of my life and I would love to help care for yours when you can’t. I currently have two dogs, a cat, a leopard gecko and African dwarf frogs, and they bring so much joy to my life. I also have two small children who love animals as well. We have fostered dogs through a local rescue. I am available for walks, drop ins, doggy day care at my home or overnight visits at my home. I am able to administer oral and injectable medications. I currently work part time as a registered nurse- my availability will be dependent on my work schedule, but I’d love to help you when I am off. Please reach out with your needs and we can discuss more. I would love to help take care of your furry family, and I look forward to talking with you!

Our Misty enjoyed her walk with Melissa. I like that she’s flexible about the day too.

Melissa helped us out on short notice and was amazing! She was on time and cared for Lady like she was her own. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.
