Hello and welcome!! First off I want to thank you
for considering me and allowing me to be your pet sitter. My name is Melissa
and I'm 28 years old. I grew up in the San Francisco bay area, Ca. For 10 years
my career has been in the medical/health-care field and animal
care/fostering/nursing/etc I have done my whole life as I was raised with it
from my grandmother and mother and helped various private organizations growing
up. I truly have a passion for ones well being whether they be 2 or 4
legged. I have been a USMC Wife for almost 5 years and we have been
stationed at Camp Pendleton and here in Twenty-nine Palms. When I was at
Camp Pendleton I met some great people and friends who all have pets of their
own and needed a reliable, caring pet sitter. With my love and passion for
animals I became their pet-sitter, all whom I'm still very close with to this
day.
Out here in 29 palms, I saw that there is a big need for a caring and responsible pet sitter so I decided to expand and extend myself and services to the pet parents here in 29. I know firsthand its hard with the heat, deployments, children, work, and just everyday life and then something unexpected or a vacation/72/96 come up and you can’t go because no one can watch your furry one for a couple days. Trust me, I've been there too!!! But that's why I am here, so you can go and have fun, take care of your business while your pet is at home having fun, getting lots of love and attention. I don't have another job or have children (besides my furry ones lol), nor am I doing this for a quick buck and. When I'm taking care of your pet , they are my job, to care for them, love them, and make sure they are safe as if you were home. I have heard many terrible stories from many pet owners where they hired someone to watch their pet and didn't take good care of them, left them in a crate or outside all day, as well as just never showed up and their pet was left alone for a week. That's also why i provide pics and daily updates so you know how your pet is doing. I take pet sitting seriously and treat each and every pet with the love, care and well being that I expect my pets to be taken care of.
My rate is a flat $5 per pet, per day fee. No additional costs, nothing hidden, no surprises anywhere!! I offer this low rate as I know the economy is tough, emergencies do happen, and some have multiple pets and can’t afford some of the pet sitter prices I see!! Being a pet parent myself I know the costs of boarding, pet sitters, etc. and we have missed many occasions and visits home because of these prices and just couldn't find anyone we trusted and that truly would take care of our pets.
My own dogs love other animals, and have been raised around all types of animals. They are up to date on their shots, rabies, and are fixed. Being a pet mommy myself I know not to leave hazardous things around, leave valuables in the open as they might get broken, but most of all I know to hide the paper towels! (My dogs just love to shred paper towels lolol, it's their one bad habit ) .
I'm currently looking into getting my certification in pet first aid and pet CPR, but please be rest assured I do know first aid and pet CPR I just don't have the paper yet to show it but am working on it!!
My goal right now is to help as many families and pets with my pet sitting. I want to one day open up an actual facility of a doggy day care/camp/pet sitting. My views are that all animals should be in a healthy environment with other animals/people so they can interact, play, be safe, and just have fun!! I do not believe in keeping your pet in a kennel/crate all day (boarding) with no interaction of any sort. I believe that one day I can do that and will!!
So this is just a little about me and my passions. I assure you that your pet will be in the best of care and will be safe and have a great time while you are gone!! If you ever have any questions, concerns, praises, etc I'm all ears and will respond back asap. My email, facebook, yim are all linked to my cell phone so I will get back to you promptly!! Again I thank you and look forward to meeting you and your lil furry one!!

Meet my pets!
This is my divine feline, Mama. Her name says it all. She rules the roost around here. She’s a 4 year old calico manx mix. She loves her catnip, straws, and her window to watch the birds and bunnies outside. She is strictly indoors, and is very prissy to a degree! LoL!! She will flick and pound her lil tail if you are not feeding her fast enough and will talk back to you! At night she likes to sleep under the covers or on your pillow (which then becomes hers!!) She gets along well with all animals as she’s been raised with every kind. She's up to date on her shots/worming and is fiv negative..
This is my furry man!! His name is Havoc, and is a 3 year old red Siberian husky. he is fixed and has all his shots. He loves any and all toys that have a squeaker, moos or rawrs, Completely spoiled, laid back, docile. Loves his walks, toys, and is a BIG talker!!! He gets along great with all dogs and animals small or large. When we lived @ Camp Pendleton we went to the San Clemente and surrounding dog parks every day, sometimes several times a day, as well as visited petco/petsmart every weekend and has even meet Santa at xmas time!!
