About animals and me
I absolutely love animals. I have dog sat different sizes and breeds for friends in the past (poodle mix, Bernese mountain dog, German Shepherd ... Etc)
I love to take the dogs for walks and even hikes if the dog is physically capable.
I have experience with cats too. I had my cat, Menny, who lived 13 years before he left this earth.

2022 has been a life-changing learning experience for me. I am proud to say that the happiest moments of my life are when I was surrounded by family, babies/children, animals and nature. Sadly, my work for the past 10 years doesn't involve any of those (I am an accounts payable clerk)

Having a pet is the equivalent of having a family member. It is a permanent matter requiring commitment. As much as I love animals, personal life events and work time constraints made me hold back from having a furry companion to call my own. One day when the time is right, but for now, I will happily assist those in need. I am on Pawshake because it re-ignites sparks in me, my ambition to connect with animals, people and the community.

With this said, it would be a great pleasure to care for your fur-buddy as I would care for him/her as my own. I am open to give you frequent status and updates if you'd like to ensure your pet is in good hands!

I would appreciate any relevant information to ensure a pleasant and positive experience so that your pet enjoys his/her stay comfortably. Please provide information on their personality, tendencies, habits, special needs ... etc.

About me (General)
I value kindness, efficiency, environmentally awareness (eco-friendly) and wellfare for others and for myself.

House-sitting
As a guest, I tend to be minimalistic with my personal needs. I think I am somewhat resourceful (manage). I try my best to ensure that others are at ease vs. creating discomfort and tension.

Work experience (General)
+ Daycares with children (past)
+ Storekeeper (past)
+ Admin/Office duties (current)


Details on services
+ Open to the option to dog-sit/cat-sit at your location (if convenient)
+ Open to pick-up/drop-off animals (to cover travel $)
+ Open to go for long walks and hikes with dogs if requested (Please specify if your animal can travel by car for hikes)
+ If requested, I will keep you informed/updated on any activities (status/walks/feeding ... Etc.)

You will be informed if there are:
- any recurring pee/poop/vomit incidents
- any aggressive behaviors such as growling, scratching, bitting
- any destruction of property/item

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask! I look forward to hear from you and your lovely fur companion(s)!

Yours Truly,
Melissa Hua

Melissa was a dream come true! She took such great care of both our pup and our home while we were away. She was well-prepared, communicative, and so patient with our dog who has a few extra quirks. She sent regular updates and I'm pretty sure our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! Such a relief to know our dog and our home were in such great hands. We will definitely book again for future trips! Thanks a million Melissa!
