Pet care experience

Dog lover!

I always had dogs growing up and I would often puppy sit for friends. I recently lost my twelve year old pitty, Bella. I would love an opportunity to hang with furry friends.

Amazing and very thankful for her help! She did an amazing job at taking care of our dog and providing her with needed meds along with everything else.

Melissa was incredible! She was available on short notice, and came to meet us and our pets ahead of time anyway since we were in a crunch. She stayed overnight with our 6 yr old border collie and 5 yr old cat and took great care of them. She made sure our dog got regular walks and played with him. She sent photos and gave updates during our trip. She followed the instructions left and we feel our pets were in great hands while we were gone. We will absolutely be having her back to care for our babies!

Melissa is very personable and professional. She handled Alika well and did not get alarmed by how excited Alika reacted when meeting her. He is big and strong and likes to jump up on people to say hi, but she understood that and handled him well.

Melissa is a kind, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter. My dogs were instantly connected with her. I always felt reassured knowing they were in good hands. She’s dependable, easy to communicate with, and truly pays attention to each animal’s needs. Her passion for animals shines through—she’s the kind of sitter you hope to find.
