Highlights
Pet care experience
Pre-Vet Animal Lover & Sitter
I have 8+ years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I worked at a pet resort handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and monitoring behavior. I’m a pre-vet student, certified veterinary assistant, and completed an internship at a veterinary hospital caring for animals with different needs, including seniors and anxious pets. Family and friends regularly rely on me when they travel, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, including natural or fresh diets, hand-feeding when needed, and giving extra patience to shy or rescue pets. I also volunteer at shelters and rescued my own two dogs, so I truly care to make animals feel safe and comfortable.
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in the client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I always make sure pets are safe, relaxed, and well taken care of, and I treat each home with respect as if it were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa is a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my kitty during her pregnancy. She made the whole process seem so easy, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
Melissa was great! Our dogs really loved her company and she was very communicative!
Melissa has been taking care of my dogs whenever I travel or need to be away for a few days, and they absolutely love her. One of my girls gets SO excited every time she sees Melissa, it’s honestly adorable. She’s very caring, patient, and attentive with them, and I can tell they feel comfortable and happy around her. I always have peace of mind knowing my babies are being well taken care of and getting lots of love while I’m away. I trust her completely and I’m really grateful to have found someone who treats my dogs like her own.
Melissa is so very caring and communicative! Thanks so much
Melissa was the BEST pet sitter!! She went above and beyond for our kitties. She was always on time and sent the cutest picture updates. I could tell that she played with the cats a lot because when we got home the cats were calm and happy. Highly recommend!!
Melissa is the best and is clearly an animal lover! I have three dogs and she walked them and fed them for me in a pinch. She followed all my instructions and sent me an update so I never had to worry about my babies! I would recommend her for all your pet needs. Thank you Melissa!!

Schedule
I’m currently a pre-vet student, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet sitting. I’m generally available on weekdays during the mornings and afternoons. I’m also flexible and able to adjust my schedule when needed to accommodate different pet care needs!
