All animals love me!

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I grew up with several dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, ducks, and more. I love animals and know that when their human is traveling they can get stressed out, so I try to keep their routine as normal as possible and give them extra love. I send pictures and videos throughout my time with the animals, and will provide updates throughout the day. I am comfortable taking animals to the vet while their human is out of town if they need to go. I have experience with rescue dogs and know they can use a little extra love and patience. I’ve watched puppies and dogs up to 16 years old. I am comfortable walking more than one dog at once or walking them separately if needed.

It is so AMAZING to go on a trip and know my pets and my home are being well cared for! Melissa stayed in my home with my four dogs for 10 days when we were away. Each day she sent a couple of messages letting me know how the dogs were doing along with pictures of her snuggling with them. All of the pics were cute and some were silly. I could tell she was enjoying being with my dogs as much as they enjoyed her. We actually have one dog that is aggressive at times, especially with people he does not know. I was concerned that he might be a problem. Nope! He loved her! She sent pictures of him all snuggled next to her and loving the attention. When we returned home, our house was immaculate! You could not tell anyone had even been there. It was so nice to come home to clean house and happy pets. Before this last trip, it did not occur to me that this type of service was available at a reasonable cost. Now, I’m hooked!! Melissa is a true professional with tons of love to give pets when their owners are away. Five stars is not enough. I do highly recommend her!

Melissa did a great job! Melissa kept me informed on how the dogs were doing through the entire sitting, sending a variety of pictures and updates. She even washed my bedding and picked up a package from the leasing office - above and beyond! Would love to use Melissa as a sitter in the future!

Melissa was great with my 2 cats! They warmed up to her within only a few minutes of meeting. She stayed with them at my house while I was on vacation and sent me photos and videos so I could keep tabs on them. I came home 2 weeks later to a clean house and two happy cats! I will definitely contact Melissa for my next trip.
