Pet care experience

Paw-sitively Patient!

Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :)

Melita is a great dog watcher because she is responsible, caring, and trustworthy. She makes sure the dogs are safe, fed, and have plenty of water while also giving them attention, exercise, and love. She is patient with animals and pays close attention to their needs, making sure they are comfortable and happy. I would trust Melita to take good care of any dog because she is dependable and takes her responsibilities seriously.

Schedule

I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible.
