About: I’ve worked with dogs for the past 7 years of my career. Have done dog sitting for the last 4 years. My current job is with animals. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work full time but have one day off a week and have weekends off. Will stay in your house and can take them hiking or for walks. I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are most comfortable in their environment. Take them for walks and play with them however they like.

“Melissa went far beyond expectations! She came to my home a few days before to meet my old puggle and I. Right away, I knew she was the right fit. Warm, friendly, very communicative and understanding of my older dog and patient with his little quirks. After talking and showing her around, I had no hesitation trusting Melissa with my home and my little world with 4 paws. She sent messages with photos letting me know she was handling his separation anxiety with patience, some humor and of course, treats! She is a true animal lover with a lot of knowledge of different breeds and older dog behaviors. I would highly recommend Melissa! Kind, dependable, responsible and overall really good person! It’s not easy for me to leave my little old man, even for one night, but will not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you Melissa! Brutus adored you.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover who has cared for everything from birds and fish to dogs and cats since childhood, I understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. Currently a pet parent myself and working professional, I bring both personal experience and reliability to your pet's care. My time volunteering at animal shelters has given me hands-on experience with different animal personalities and needs. I know how crucial it is to trust that your pets are receiving attentive, loving care while you're away, which is why I offer dedicated drop-in services that keep your furry (or feathered!) family members happy at home. I'm a teacher, so weekdays the availability for drop-ins would be in the morning, after school and in the evening. On weekends I am available for morning, afternoon and evening. I am a teacher in our local school district and consider myself very trustworthy. I understand there is a high level of trust needed to allow someone to drop into your home and care for your pets. As a pet parent I also understand the need to have a reliable sitter, rather than use a kennel. I hope I can fill that role for your family:)

About: I have experience providing attentive and reliable care for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each pet feels relaxed and well-cared for. I handle daily routines such as feeding, walking, administering medications (if needed), and maintaining clean living spaces. I also prioritize enrichment—whether that’s playtime, exercise, or simply offering companionship to ease anxiety while owners are away. With a strong commitment to communication, I keep pet parents updated and confident that their pets are in great hands. My availability is open and very flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m available for daytime visits, evening care, overnight stays, and weekend bookings. I can also adjust to last-minute requests and holiday schedules when needed. Whether you need consistent weekly care or one-time help, I’m able to work around your routine to ensure your pet receives dependable, attentive care whenever you need it. I prioritize safety and trust above all when caring for pets in your home. I follow your household routines, respect your space, and ensure your home is secure at all times. Doors are double-checked, pets are monitored closely, and all instructions regarding feeding, medication, and allowed areas are followed with care.

“Carter was amazing!! The dogs loved him. He took them on a walk, got my mail and comforted them. I wholeheartedly recommend Carter. We will use him in the future, I’m going through some medical issues and knowing the dogs are being taken care of. He made my life less stressful. Thank you Carter”
