Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently bring dogs to my home, as I have two large dogs of my own. While in your home, I would make sure everything is safe and secure while you are away. I am happy to perform additional small tasks, if requested, for an additional charge. While you are away, I would love on your friend like they are my own, making sure they have everything they need, food, water, bedding, litter, meds, etc, and are safe and content.

House Sitting • Jun 04, 2026

Melissa is wonderful with large dogs and did a fantastic job caring for my two shepherds. She took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, she was dependable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my dogs' well-being. It's not easy finding someone confident and experienced with large breeds, but Melissa exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely use her again.

Melissa cared for my very active and anxious bulldog. She was very knowledgeable on the breed and animal care in general! Chevelle loved her immediately and was very relaxed and happy when we returned home. Highly recommend.
