I treat your pets like my own

Pet care experience

Give your pet/s the gift of care with a reliable, experienced pet sitter while you're away from home. Now accepting holiday bookings! I've cared for cats and dogs for 40+years, including 8 years as a foster and volunteer for Homeward Bound Pug Rescue. Old or young, playful or mellow, I love caring for pets. I've completed Red Cross First Aid for Dogs and Cats training. House sitting in a pet's home or in my own has been a part of my life for years. Your pet will be safe and loved in my care. I have experience with caring for special needs pets, including giving medication, expressing bladders, and helping pets who use wheelie carts.

So sweet! Had a great yard for any dog. Gave updates through out the day. Had really good communication and met my dogs needs.

Melissa was so good to Summit. I knew from the moment we met at the meet and greet she would take good care of our girl. Melissa also took care of our home including all of the houseplants. We couldn't have had the stress free vacation without her help.

I’m so glad I came across Melissa’s profile. I was kinda nervous leaving my sweet puppy in someone else’s home but felt great about the decision the minute I met her. She did send me a update on him which I was grateful for. I will be using her again when needed. Thank you!

Melissa was great! My small pup played with other small pups and enjoyed outside play time. Melissa has a great setup for doggie daycare and I recommend using her for your pup!

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.

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.
