Exclusive & Personalized Pet Care

🐾 Calm, Personalized & Loving Dog Care I provide calm, attentive, and personalized dog care in a safe and peaceful home environment tailored to your dog’s unique personality, needs, and daily routine. Every dog is different — their energy, comfort level, habits, and personality all matter. My goal is to understand each dog individually so they feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home while in my care. Before any booking, I offer a meet-and-greet to learn about your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, medication needs (if any), behavior, and comfort preferences. This helps ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for both of us. I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time so each one receives full attention, patience, and affection.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 20, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two cats! She took care of them for 6 weeks and was absolutely wonderful the entire time, reliable, flexible, and clearly treated our cats like her own. She kept the litter boxes clean, fed them on schedule, and made sure they got plenty of playtime so they never felt lonely. What really stood out was how communicative she was, she sent us photo updates every single visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy cats. Highly, highly recommend her, we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Melissa was a wonderful sitter for my 15 year old Cavalier. She sent photos every day and administered his medications while making sure he had play and love time. I am very grateful.

Melissa was wonderful! She sent me lots of photos every single day, and it was clear from them that my dog was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. She was very responsive throughout the stay and took excellent care of all his needs. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Melissa again!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 30, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took exceptional care of our puppy and treated her like one of her own. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our puppy was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, and that says everything. We are so grateful for the care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their dog!

Schedule

[ ] I am a part-time artist, I do my work from home so I have plenty of time to do other activities, I like to be accompanied by furry friends and go out several times a day, I connect a lot with nature, to recharge myself with inspiration and doing it in the company of a furry friend generates energy for me: The day usually begins with a walk in the park, where dogs can release energy, socialize with other animals and enjoy a good time of exercise. I make sure that each dog will receive the right amount of activity, adapted to its age, size and needs. During this activity, I also make sure that they feel comfortable and happy. [ ] I can host them at home, I have a large space, so that they can be without feeling uncomfortable

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will stay in a clean, spacious, and peaceful home located on a quiet street surrounded by nature. There is a large outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time in a safe and calm environment. I currently do not have any pets, which allows me to provide a stable and fully dedicated environment. Dogs are free to relax wherever they feel most comfortable — whether near me, exploring the home, or resting in a cozy space.

A typical day

In these cold times we need a lot of energy and beautiful places to visit. Near my house, 5 minutes away, I have a large park to run, with pools and trails, which I love to go to in the mornings, and a dog park where they can share with others if they like, play a little, throwing a ball or stick and being in contact with nature. At home, there is no shortage of affection and pampering, I love sharing with them
