“Victoria was great! She responded quickly and was available for a last minute booking. She did a meet and greet with my 2 cats and answered all my questions. She even went the extra mile to set out my garbage can when I asked her. I love the communication through the app and the multiple photos I received daily. I will definitely be booking through her again in the future if she is available when needed.”


“She is absolutely caring, understanding, and a very responsible person. Definitely an excellent first impression and gives me the confidence to use her services again very soon!!”


“Joy does a wonderful job. My cats really like her. She takes great care of them and plays with them and gives them attention. I hope to use her many times in the future.”


“I last minute booked and was able to leave within the hour of the request. I left the house a mess and came back to the house being slick and span. I absolutely adore Heaven! She is the only sitter we use!”


“Alexis is awesome! She did a great job with our 3 dogs. 2 youngish sisters that are active and my 14+ year old GSD buddy. The old man is doing well but showing his age. Alexis met the needs of young and old alike. Highly recommended by our whole pack.”


“Morgan will 110% be a repeat for me! If she'll have me! 😆 Not only did she take care of my pets special needs (insulin injections), but she went above and beyond to actually make a connection with my fuzzies... AND me! She sent me photos everyday, and even left me adorable tiny Polaroids of them!!🫠🫶 The kind of care she provided, took a HUGE load off my shoulders while being out of state. knowing my animals are happy,eating & safe..its the best. Thank you, again!”


About: My husband Uriah and I have been big animal lovers our entire lives. We absolutely have a weak spot for dogs and have over 15 years combined experience caring for them. We have no pets of our own so we really love to fill our free time helping others with their pet pals, while allowing our hearts to heal and our love for animals grow even more. I do love me some kittys too!! All fur babes are welcome 🤗 ♥️ My job as a flower gardener is seasonal. I am an early riser and have a very steady daily schedule in my off-time. My husband is my partner with Rover, we are always happy to welcome all the animals in our home. My family and I are very active, love to be outsoors and would be honored to take your pups on daily walks or even a simple hike! Though, overnights are our favorite! 🐶 If you would like for me to hang out with your dog and play catch for an hour, I can do that. If you need help administering oral medications, I have experience doing so with previous dogs and cats. Or maybe you just want me to cuddle your kitty, I am SO happy to do that too!! I have had fish, snakes, a bearded dragon and a senior bird in the past. I am here to give my kindness and care to all creatures of the earth!

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, a licensed positive reinforcement Canine Obedience Instructor, and am Pet CPR and First Aid certified! I have cared for pets for most of my life, with all stages of lives and medical needs. I have experience with caring for young through senior age, diabetics, surgical recovery pets, pets with behavioral needs, and everyday average happy kiddos! I can make nearly any pet care situation work. I have flexible hours, rates, and am always open for discussion! I have experience with large animal, small mammal, aquatics, birds, and dogs/cats. I have made pet care my entire life. I continue to strive to be the best I can be for my own pets, and am happy to extend that love out to other peoples' pets as well. I have an open schedule so that I can be available when people need. I am currently in the process of fencing my yard. At this time, we take on-leash walks in the neighborhood. The yard is monitored and we have a security system that alerts us to movement outside, so that we don't have accidental run-ins with moose. Pets are not left outside unattended. Kitties are restricted to indoor only, and can have their own private room if needed. My personal pets are crate trained, so that if I have a non-social pet in the home, I am able to give them the space they need. If I am in a client's home, I do not bring visitors, I do not bring my own pets, and I make accommodations for each situations specific needs. All pets are cared for to the standard that I would expect my own to be cared for. I am dependable, honest, and will always do my best to do exactly what is asked of me.

“Melissa was an absolute sweetheart! She came to meet our 2 kitties and did a short walkthrough of our house before we left. During her visits I got pictures of my cats and little updates everyday. I was very comfortable with having her watching over our cats, it felt nice not having to worry about them! If I need to, I’d definitely hire Melissa again, and I recommend you do the same!”
