Love them as my own

Pet care experience

I love animals of all breeds and sizes. Your pet will get all of the attention he/she would like. I am very flexible with times and services. I have house sat for many people before and they have all highly recommended me to others. I am respectful of your wishes, your home, and your fur baby or babies. I am more than happy to give your pet the love it needs while you are away. If they need special accommodations, then I can meet those needs as well. If you have other animals that need attention as well then that is fine too. I have worked with mice, cats, dogs, chickens, horses, reptiles, fish, and birds. I cannot wait to meet your pet and give them love and attention!

Melissa was so great with our dog, Bentley. She sent pictures of walks and time outside. Would highly recommend!

We recently had Melissa come stay at our home while we were on vacation. She stayed with our two large and energetic boys for 6 days. From the very start of our initial conversation Melissa was excellent. She responded quickly and came to meet our dogs (they took to her right away) and look at the house a few weeks prior to our trip. During our vacation we received multiple updates/pics/videos of the dogs. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned and we felt comfortable with her there. Highly recommend her services to any one interested, and we will happily book again!

Mellisa was wonderful with our dogs! The first morning she even sat on the floor with our Pomeranian to get him to eat breakfast.(he sometimes does this with new things) then texted me to see if I had any tricks to get him to eat. I thought that was so sweet! I would use her again!
