Dog Sitting in Melissa

“Gideon is the best. Always on time and our boys truly love him. The smiles in their pictures tell us all we need to know. We will always be grateful and thankful for him and his care towards our babies.”

“Amy was an absolute lifesaver when she extended for a week when I was delayed coming home due to a family illness - thanks so much, Amy!! She was so patient with our skittish kitty, finally winning her over, ending with pets and lap naps! I highly recommend this wonderful lady!”

“Blake was awesome taking care of Finn while we were away! She was punctual for all scheduled visits and very responsive to any requests or messages. Blake gave very detailed updates with lots of pics of our pup. She did a great job engaging with Finn, taking him for a walk for every visit, playing with him, petting him, etc. Blake was very sweet and generally took great care of our dog for the entirety of our vacation. I would highly recommend and will gladly rebook with her in the future!”

About: I have a 8 yr old bichon myself whom I have trained to be an esa. I also have a five-year-old toy poodle mix who is also an ESA. I am the go to person to dog sit for my friends and family. I am very patient and kind and sill give you furry family member all the love they need. I have experience with dogs who need a little extra help in the health department and who are a little bit older. I will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the fur babies. I am gone for about eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday. However, I work very close to home so I can run home to do Potty breaks if need be. Both of my dogs are very different personality wise. Loki loves to play and he’s a very curious dog. He likes to interact with other dogs as well. He may be eight years old, but you would think that he’s still a puppy with the amount of energy he has but he’s not wanting to play. He’s wanting to watch TV and cuddle as for Apollo. He’s very laid-back and chill. He likes to just sleep and play by himself, but he will play with other others. He does have a condition with his eyes where he does not produce the correct amount of tears so I do administer a daily medication for him. I do have a small yard with a doggie door so they have access to outside all day.

About: I’ve had various pets in the span of my life including cats,dogs,hamsters,gerbils, guinea pigs,fish, and frogs. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and have experience working in a vet clinic for 3 years, as well as an animal sanctuary. I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family, and have cared for blind and diabetic dogs, as well as ones with behavioral issues. One of my cats has separation anxiety, and I know what it’s like to worry and not want to leave your babies alone. I will give them plenty of love and entertain them while you’re away! And as I currently don’t own a dog, I would love nothing more than a furry friend to spend time with! I’m currently working part time and am available Tues/Thurs evenings and all day Fri/Sat/Sun! My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week, so just let me know the timeframes you need and we can figure something out:) As a pet owner myself, I understand worrying about them while being away. I’m a very reliable person that would give the upmost care and love for your baby. I would love to send updates and pictures to you often to give you peace of mind! I’m also very willing to do the small household chores like cleaning cages/litter boxes/ any messes they may make.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love getting to know every pup’s unique personality! I’m experienced in basic training and provide loving, attentive care. I’m deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate, but I can speak a little too—your pets will always be in patient, understanding hands 💛 My schedule for summer is super flexible and I will be able to have plenty of time to give your fur babies the best experience of their life 😆 I love hanging out and giving the cuddles! I am happy to housesit your place which means I can come and stay at your place to take care of your fur kiddos! Just need to be aware that I will have to step out sometimes to take care of my own fur kiddos and sometimes will have shifts to work. I always make sure to take care of the animals first before I head out.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure dogs are fed on time, get exercise, and feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them and giving them attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am responsible and patient, and I treat every dog like family. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your dog is in my care.

About: I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets for over seven years, including Jonah (Golden Retriever), Jessie (Golden Pyrenees), and Mittens (tuxedo cat). My background includes hands-on experience caring for family animals and taking in rescues reflecting a lifelong dedication to animal care. My current schedule allows for consistent availability throughout the entire week, with mornings/afternoons before 4pm preferred. My availability after 4pm varies daily, so feel free to message to prior to booking! My home is a pet-friendly (and pet filled) environment with a large fenced yard for outdoor play, though most of our time with Mittens is spent indoors surrounded by toys and cozy spots to relax. I have three resident pets — Jonah, a Golden Retriever, Jessie, a Golden Pyrenees, and Mittens, a tuxedo cat — all of whom love playtime and are great company.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets since the literal day I was born! I have often been entrusted with watching other people’s pets as well as my own due to love and ability to win over animals. I would love the opportunity to help you with your pets! I work a pretty regular 8-4. My job is also flexible so I typically able to leave throughout the day if mid-day check ins are needed. Early mornings and evenings are almost completely open availability. As someone who has been trusted into other people’s homes in the past, I know it can be nervous or awkward. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and do the same for your pet!

“Robin was great. She took care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were gone for a week. On one of the nights, it started to storm. She came over after already doing a visit and let the dogs inside so they wouldn't be outside during the storm. She also sent pictures each day of our pets while we were gone. The pets were well taken care of and I won't hesitate to use her again next time we go out of town.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and my own pet for a little over seven years now. I am most experienced with senior dogs, as most of my friends and family have older dogs with plenty of extra needs. I have fostered puppies for a few years now, and I am very well-versed in potty-training puppies as well! I currently have a full time job, Monday through Friday 8-5pm, some Saturdays 8-12pm and off on Sundays. I will be available to care for your pets in their own environment and safe place so they can feel comfortably in their own space and keep their same routine. I have a large, fenced backyard free of any harmful plants for my dog. Plenty of toys, a neighborhood perfect for walking, practicing leash training, and ample space for my pet to relax and play! I adhere to a schedule, whether it’s for my own or for my client, and I am very strict about it unless there is room for extra time depending on the dog’s mood/behavior. Very energetic, so your dog will receive proper exercise, attention, and so much love in my presence!

“Great service. We have a dog that is a little temperamental. Jay & Caitlin won him over fast. Thanks for the wonderful care.”

About: I have previous experience working at an animal lodging facility, experience caring for senior dogs, and experience administering medications when needed. As a former dog owner and current cat owner, I understand how important routines, patience, and personalized care are for pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two girls on summer break. So I am looking to fill my extra time loving on your dogs. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your dog loves active play, long walks, backyard time, or just relaxing and cuddling, I adjust my care to make them feel comfortable and secure.

About: I enjoy playing with dogs at family and friends' houses. I have taken care of a friend's dog, helping with feeding, playing with, and going on walks. I am currently self-employed, so I have flexibility weekdays/weekends to take care of your fur babies.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every animal as an individual. I don’t just “watch” pets—I focus on understanding their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m especially attentive to animals that need extra care, including senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle handling, as well as younger pets who need structure, supervision, and consistent training support. I’m calm and patient with all temperaments, including anxious or high-energy pets, and I adjust my approach based on what each animal needs. I also take safety seriously by closely following instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and watching for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. Daily basics: feeding, fresh water, walks or litter cleaning, playtime and quick health checks. Dogs may set the pace for morning/evening walks. washing bedding, deeper cleaning cages, restocking food or meds, and longer exercise or enrichment sessions. “I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets and follow each pet’s specific routine and care instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I closely monitor behavior, comfort, and any signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routine and maintain a secure environment by checking gates, doors, leashes, and any safety concerns. I also keep communication open with pet owners by providing updates and photos when appropriate.”
