Safety, trust & environment

If I come to you, I will follow your routines, schedules, and instructions to the letter. If possible, I prefer to meet and greet with you beforehand to experience you and your fur babies in person. That way, you can introduce me to your home and routine together. I’ve had great pet care and housesitting experiences where meeting beforehand wasn’t possible as well. I like animals to be where they want to be, including the furniture, beds, etc… depending on their personal preferences.

Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any physical, emotional, or medical needs your pet may have. I am experienced in administering medication with a compassionate and sensitive touch.

A typical day

I love to play with their favorite toys and engage in their favorite games. I talk to them and give lots of cuddles, pets, scratches, and belly rubs. As dietary restrictions allow, I also love to give plenty of TREATS! ;)

Pet care experience

Hello future friend! I have house and pet sat professionally for clients on two well-known websites for 5 years. I’ve done the same via personal referrals for friends & family members for 30+ years. I am very experienced. I loooove all animals & will care for, snuggle, and dote on them like the precious beings they are. I am especially good with anxious and/or emotionally insecure pets. I have experience administering medication as well. I am very quiet, neat, and clean. I'm happily single at age 56, stable, healthy, and very responsible. My schedule is flexible for walks, errands, chores, playing, and outside time. Sending much care to you as you consider your travel and housesitting plans. Best, Melissa
