About Melissa

Experience: 20 yrs

I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including small, large and bully breeds. I provide full-service pet sitting and am happy to handle whatever your pets need, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their normal routines. I'm also available for overnight house sitting and will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I do my own. I value taking dogs on walks rather than simply letting them out in the yard. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can recognize when they're excited, nervous, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable. During walks, I'm attentive to their surroundings and make sure they don't eat anything unsafe. I'm comfortable caring for multiple dogs. I have energy and strength for active or large dogs and would be happy to run with them. I will reinforce basic training and good manners.

Melissa helped us out as a personal assistant for a year. She provided before and after school care. She played all kinds of games with our 6 year old son. She also took him long distance when needed as well as overnight and vacation stays for several days.
