Mel is special with the pets, with her taking care my dogs was for the first time I went on a quiet trip, she connects with the pets from the first moment because it shows that she loves them. Everything was perfect, meals, schedule to go in and out, everything was awesome. In my next trip for sure I’ll contact her. SHE IS TGE BEST.!!!!!!!!!

Mel was absolutely great with our young dog! She took care of him for 9 days recently & I don’t think he felt lonely at all. She was very nurturing, kept up with his feeding schedule, walked him daily & kept the house impeccable. I highly recommend her!!

Mel is a responsible person overall, but when it comes to caring for her two dogs....she goes above and beyond to care for them, takes them to the parks, walks, baths, and everything. I'm her neighbor and I can testify she loves to take her pups with her everywhere and really treats them as part of the family! I have no doubt that she would pet-sit any animal with the same attention, care, and love. 1000/10 recommend her!

Melissa is a huge animal lover who spoils her two dogs all the time regardless of the time, effort, and cost. She consistently provides new toys and treats and lots of love to her pets and those around her. She is a great dog mom and will handle another dog as her own.

Mel stayed with our three year old Husky for one week while we were out of the country and I am so thankful! We had daily check ins to know how our pup was doing and she even went above and beyond to send us pictures of her throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind knowing she was well taken care of. She took care of our pup like it was her own and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a sitter, or to walk your fur baby while you’re at work.

Schedule

I love love love animals, so I definitely want to incorporate pet sitting into my lifestyle; especially if it means I can help others during their travels and such. I’m a new mom, but I have a flexible schedule most days! If my hubby works during the time of your pet’s care, I will have to bring the baby so he’s not left alone.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Mel can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know ahead of time if your dog, cat, or other pets have specific temperaments, including whether they’re friendly, shy, or reactive. It’s also very helpful to know if they have a routine schedule, so I can keep them consistent and stress-free.
