Pet care experience

Animal lover/whisperer/flexible hrs

If you are looking for someone to love your dog like their own and treat like a prince/princess, than I am exactly what you are looking for. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I grew up with 3 dogs in my house and have been able to care for them for many years. My family and friends call me the animal whisperer because animals seem to connect with me, even those who usually don’t like strangers. I love walking dogs and going to dog parks. I live in a two story two house with lots of room and a front gated yard. I can be a morning bird or night owl. I look forward to meeting your fury member of the family.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 10, 2025

Melissa was amazing. I had very short notice and she did everything I could have asked for. Buck had a fantastic time and we will definitely be using Melissa again.

House Sitting • Jul 27, 2025

Melissa was great and easy to communicate! She spent lots of time with the pets and sent lots of pictures. She did all of the extra things and even made sure the house was tidy for us to come home to!

Melissa is a very comforting person to be around not only for humans but for dogs as well. She shows a true caring for animals. She has been around my Dog on several occasions and every time she sees him she loves him like i love him Melissa would be the perfect companion for anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker

Melissa is a wonderful person with a deep love for animals. She has cared for my dog when I have been out of town and I have never had to worry about a single thing. I knew that my baby was being taken excellent care of and getting all the snuggles and treats he requires. He can be a handful on the leash sometimes and when we took a walk together, he responded very well to her and she to him. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met, Axel and I adore her!

I would definitely recommend Melissa to be a dog sitter. She has watched our dog quite a few times. She is very responsible and trustworthy. She has come over and take our dog out many times when we weren’t going to make it home in time. She is very professional and very sweet. I think she would be a great dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to customize my services to the requests of my clients. I will always give 100% effort to make their pets feel loved and safe. Also relieving some stress for their owner, knowing they are in good hands while they are away.
