Availability

I work full time from home, on a flexible schedule. If your pets get along well with others, they are welcome to 'supervise' me in my office as I work. Frequent potty/play/attention breaks are built in to my days and evenings. If I'm sitting in your house, I can adjust my schedule to your pet's needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced back yard, with plenty of room to run and explore, or for older pets to soak up some sun. When weather allows, I spend a lot of time outside with my dogs. I do not leave dogs in the yard unsupervised. Pets mostly have the run of the house if they have the temperament to get along with other dogs, but I can also provide a quiet, pleasant room for pets who prefer not to hang out with others. NOTE: although I accept unneutered/unspayed pets for boarding and day care, I do my best to make sure that all pets in my care remain safe. For example, if I have a small dog staying with me, I may not accept a larger unneutered male at that time for the safety of all pets.

Melissa was great! She helped us out at the last minute after another sitter bailed on us. One of our cats was a bit under the weather, but Melissa gave her oral meds and fixed her up before we got back.

Melissa took great care of my puppy and kept me at peace knowing she was in good hands. Melissa sent me lots of pictures and updates as she took great care of my Winnie. I couldn’t recommend her more and I will definitely be using her again!!
