Melissa is a 5 Star Pet Nanny!

Pet care experience

Melissa the Pet Nanny at your service! Need someone to love your fur baby while you are away? Love dogs, cats, animals or all sorts! Let me come to you! Servicing Williamson County and surrounding areas. ***If you are outside of Williamson County my overnight fee is based on your location.*** *About Me* I have always loved animals... Love playing ball with dogs but I love playing with cats too! I started by caring for friends/ coworkers animals when they were on vacay, sick, traveling for work. I decided that I should offer my services to the community since I enjoy taking care of animals so much. I do also work full-time and will make sure to coordinate care with you based on your need. Unfortunately, I have no pets in my home currently. I have a clear background check. I am neat, clean, smoke/ drug free! I am very dependable and usually can arrange your pets care with 24 hours notice if I am not already booked. I will respond within a few hours to your request. **Pictures and regular updates are important and you will be kept updated on how your pet is doing! We will take plenty of selfies...** I prefer to meet and greet prior to booking but understand sometimes time is of the essence so can be booked without a meeting. I appreciate when detailed instructions are left in these instances. Looking forward to servicing you pet care needs!

Absolutely unreal. We booked Melissa for house sitting at Christmas. We had used her in the past. She’s extremely high and I questioned both times we used her whether she actually stayed at the house or not but we needed someone for the holidays. Unfortunately, my father in law was rushed to the hospital and probably won’t make it. He’s day to day and I’m critical care. I contacted Melissa the next day that we had to cancel and apologized for the inconvenience. She made no mention of her cancelation policy nor that I wouldn’t get a full refund. We had paid her $675 for 12/23 - 12/28 which like I said, EXTREMELY high. She was very cold and said she had turned several people down to help us and I would have to contact customer service. So I did. I only got $327 refunded. Today, I called customer service to ask why. They said her cancelation policy was listed as strict and requires 7 days for cancelation and I canceled at 6. I cannot help that it was 6 instead of 7. I canceled the day after my father in law was rushed to the hospital, as it was late the night before when he was taken. I did it as quick as I possibly could to give her time to Rebook someone she turned down. Customer service told me they could issue the full refund with her permission. When I contacted her she was again very cold and quite frankly, rude. She did zero and walked away with $347 of my money for something I have no control over! Additionally, I went back and looked at my security camera and confirmed that she didn’t stay overnight every night she was requested in the previous stays. I guess that’s why we didn’t get picture updates very often. I highly caution anyone thinking of using her because if you have any circumstances you can’t control, she doesn’t care. You’ll be out of money for no services rendered. I get the cancelation policy for some bs or changing minds but this is truly disgusting.

I have three geriatric dogs. One is blind and deaf and one has heart condition which she takes meds for. Melissa administered the meds perfectly according to my instructions. She went above and beyond AND my dogs loved her!! I would definitely have her in my home watching my babes again.

My house/dog sitter was great!! She made sure my elder dog got her meds 2 times per day and took her on walks. She did what was needed so my dog was comfortable and spoiled. :). I loved the pics and updates too!

Top notch! Great communication & she loved our pups as much as we do. Hopefully we get to use her again and again on our weekly trips away.

Information Melissa W. would like to know about your pet

I have mostly watched larger breeds but have experience with all sizes. I don't remember much of my life not having a dog though I now have cats. I had those too growing up. I love playing catch with my client's dogs! But, cuddling with them is also great! It is great fun to go for walks and get our exercise in. I have had a lab that loved to swim!

A typical day

I follow your instructions. I would like to meet with you and pet so I can observe how you interact so that I can be consistent. I like to treat each situation unique! I love to make sure the pet is getting exercise, play time, and affection.
