Hired on Thumbtack

Working with Melissa was a fantastic experience. She came over and got to know our dogs before we left on vacation and got familiar with their surroundings. While we were away, she kept us up to date with pictures and details from her visits so we felt comfortable knowing our dogs were in great hands. Will definitely work with her again and highly recommend.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

Having never used an app such as thumb tack before, I did not know what to expect… however, I was at my wits end needing help with a dog that I recently adopted. I have rescued and adopted numerous dogs throughout my adult live, but this one was a special challenge and having just come through major surgery , I was desperate! I spelled out my story on the thumbtack app and reviewed several options. I really liked the reviews that I read for Lunch Box loves friends, So I selected that 1. Melissa replied very quickly and with a very understanding tone regarding my situation. This was on a Sunday and the next day we arranged for a time for her to come and meet my dog Angel. This is one of the best decisions I made this past week! She started with daily walks the next day which was Tuesday and came every day through Saturday. Melissa was extremely flexible with my unpredictable schedule and I knew instantly that I was in great hands! This is one of the best decisions I made this past week! She started with daily walks the next day which was Tuesday and came every day through Saturday. Melissa was extremely flexible with my unpredictable schedule and I knew instantly that I was in great hands! She Clearly loves animals and clearly was very comfortable with my dog… and angel just loves her! She has taken a huge burden off of my crazy schedule and I could not be happier! I also love her willingness to be flexible and not make me commit to any certain number of days, etc. 2 thumbs up for this dog Walker!

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

Melissa is a responsible dog walker who takes pride in her work. She takes very good care of my dog, and she even works with him on his behavior issues when she walks him. She is very flexible and accomdating to my schedule. I appreciate her strong work ethic! She also brings treats for my dog!

As any pet owner we always get anxious when it comes time to find someone to watch them as we are away. However, Melissa made me feel like my dog was hers as well. She always updated me throughout the day, she brought him treats (which i did not expect her to do that), and played with him (even past the times she was schedule to do so to make sure my puppy got his energy out with exercise). She is one of the kindest pet sitter I have ever met. Melissa is the person you can trust with your pet! I will be hiring her for any future pet sitting jobs.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing exercise • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have standard prices for my services but am always willing to negotiate. Situations are different and I try to accommodate everyone.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to talk over the phone first to find out the situation. Then tell someone about myself, what services I provide. If that works out, I then go over to a new potential customer house to meet with them and their fuzzy friend and take it from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've taken some courses to become a certified technician. I plan to become fully certified in the next couple of years.
