Pet care experience

My name is Melissa and my love for dogs is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/sitter for many years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". Many people wonder why I treat dogs like people, but they are loyal and bring so much joy to our lives, I can't imagine treating them any different than a family member. Seeing their little faces everyday puts a smile on mine! I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I promise your dogs will feel like they are on vacation with me, I am attentive, fun, energetic and extremely sensitive to their needs. I can't wait to meet your best friends.

Melissa was absolutely amazing! We went away for 6 days and had never had to board our precious Mandie before. Our dog is a very nervous, fearful one, and Melissa was wonderful with her. She took her on multiple walks everyday and helped her acclimate to the 2 other dogs that were with her. She also sent multiple pics and videos to me everyday, putting my mind at ease. This experience was no doubt better than boarding our dog at a kennel where she would have had to stay in a cage-like environment. When I picked Mandie up at the end of her stay, she jumped up on Melissa and gave her kisses. She doesn't do that with anyone but family! I am so utterly grateful for Melissa! I recommend her to all and will definitely be using her again!

Melissa and her family were the perfect holiday home for Tina! She seemed sad to leave -- the many pictures Melissa shared showed her getting plenty of exercise, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I'll be checking with Melissa first next time I need a sitter.

Melissa dog sat for me several times and I cannot say anything but incredible things about her natural skill and talent at this job. Her endless and deep passion for dogs is unparalleled to any other dog sitter I have ever had. She is always on time and takes her job very seriously. From her interaction with my two dogs, I could sense that Melissa has an innate calling for working with animals. She is always in tune with my dogs' needs and interests. I never worry about my dogs when I have Melissa watch them because I have witnessed her integrity, passion, and dedication she wholeheartedly has for caring for animals. I would recommend Melissa to all my family and friends and hope to continue working with her.

My babies Cookie and Darla (pugs) absolutely love Melissa. She has doggie sat for me on a couple of weekends and has been amazing with them that they don’t easily want to leave. She goes above and beyond pampering them with either a nice bath and letting them sleep on her bed and couch. She always kept me at ease with updates on how and what they‘re doing. They come home happy unlike the times I had to leave them at a kennel. Melissa is my go to sitter and walker knowing she treats my babies like if they were hers. Truly amazIng experience every time!
