Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When overnight pet sitting, I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they feel comfortable and secure. For daytime visits, pets are welcome at my home — I have a large backyard and a nearby park for walks. I don’t visit dog parks for safety reasons, so your pet will always stay on leash unless we’re in a safe, enclosed space at your or my home.

Melissa was amazing with our puppy and cats. Our little guy is still learning his training and she gave me some terrific advice. She sent us updates and everything went so smoothly. Very grateful for her help this last weekend.

Melissa was great! Our high energy dogs loved her and they were spoiled with two walks per day. She did a great job house sitting for us and communicating with us while we were away for the weekend.

Melissa house sat for us for a week. We have two pups. She was on time and took great care of our fur babies! She kept them on their schedule, walked them and got lots of cuddle time in with them. We also received regular communication and pictures:) They were so happy when we got home and I know that was due to Melissa loving and caring for our fur babies! Melissa is truly a gem! I look forward to using her again!

It’s important for me to know your dog’s personality, triggers, routines, and any allergies or medical needs. The more I know, the better I can ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
