Availability

I am currently on the hunt for career-related work, so I have more than enough time to allocate towards taking care of your pup during sittings. Being back on the job market means that I am also flexible to pick up walks during the week for the time being. I try to engage socially with friends over the weekends. I would love to bring your pup out with me, especially with my friends who also love animals if the environment we'll be in is pet friendly and safe. However, my social time is also flexible.

Information Mesgana A. would like to know about your pet

Please notify me in your booking request if your pet has any required special needs care or behavioral challenges to certain stimuli (other pets, children, etc.). I am open to working with any breed, size, and energy level!

A typical day

Mental and physical stimulation is important for pets! If you have treats around, I like wrapping them up on a blanket or paper, taping/tying it up, and making them fish the treats out. I have a few other enrichment activities we can go over during the booking request. These activities are great for both cats and dogs. Your dog/cat will also have playtime and walks!

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by dogs and cats since the age of 5. Growing up, pet care was a shared responsibility in my household. Gradually, I took on more responsibilities as my bond deepened with my pets. I fostered kittens a few times, too. I began professionally working with dogs/cats doing walks and sittings as a side gig in 2018 on other pet service platforms. I have experience with nearly 400 clients and have maintained a 4.99-star rating on the secondary platform I use (see photo gallery for screenshot image). References and former non-Rover reviews can be provided upon request. I am rather attuned to animal behavior, which allows me to build trust with new pets at their pace. I can provide basic training to dogs.

We were so happy Mesgana was available to take care of our two six-year-old mackerel, tabby’s overnight recently. Mesgana has cared for our girls once before providing drop by visits 2 or 3 times a day and coordinating a little bit with our neighbors. When we came home after our trip, the girls were happy to see us and not stress stressed out. Mesgana is very responsible, professional, honest, easy to communicate with and kind.

Mesgana is the best. She goes above and beyond in caring for our Bengal cats whenever we are out of town and provides us with so much reassurance. 5 stars all around!

I am feeling a bit hesitant to write this review, because selfishly, I want Mesgana all to myself. I cannot express how grateful I am for the love and exceptional care she provides our kitty (and our fish), and has provided over the past couple of years. Our kitty is very skittish around strange people, but Mesgana is definitely the cat whisperer. As selfishly reluctant I am to highly recommend Mesgana for your pets care taking needs, I have to share that she will not disappoint!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩
