Information Melissa B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should account for, along with any dietary restrictions or medication needs.

A typical day

I aim to match your pet's energy level. I enjoy playing outside with them, taking them on sniff-aries, and practicing their obedience commands. If they're more laid back, I especially enjoy vegging out with them.

Melissa is dependable, conscious and very trustworthy. I have trusted her to care for my pets, dogs, cats and horses. She is observant to any of my pets changes in behaviors whether it is activity, eating or bathroom habits. She has had years of experience owning, loving, and caring for her own pets as well as from employment positions she has held. I have always felt more than comfortable having her care for my pets when I travel. The fact that my pets aren’t staying in a boarding situation among multiple other dogs or cats and kept in a cage is a big plus. Allowing my pets to stay in their own house makes me and them much happier. The peace of mind is worth knowing my pets are in the best hands when I’m not there. Linda B.

I’m happy to wholeheartedly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter and house sitter. She has cared for my home and my two dogs multiple times, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and loving hands. One of my dogs is elderly and requires daily medication and extra patience. She was incredibly attentive to her needs, making sure medications were given correctly and on time, while also taking the time to play with her, comfort her, and give her plenty of love. It was clear my dogs felt safe and cared for, not just watched. She is responsible, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. While I was away, she regularly updated me on how the dogs were doing, sent pictures, and checked in about anything related to the house. If an issue came up, she handled it calmly and was able to troubleshoot independently, keeping me informed every step of the way. Anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter would be lucky to have Melissa. I would absolutely trust her again with my home and my pets and recommend her without hesitation.
