Pet care experience

Trusting and caring sitter!

My whole life I’ve owned carts and small animals. Since a teenager, I’ve petsit for neighbors, family, and friends, which has only grown and contributed to my love for animals. Providing care and having pets of my own, I understand the challenge of finding care for animals while away by a trusted, dependable individual that makes you and your pets feel at ease.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.

Melissa was a great pet sitter to my 13 yr old cat and 7 year old cavalier. I really appreciated the written and photographic updates she provided, it eased my mind knowing my pets were happy! I will definitely use Melissa again!

Glad we found her! I have two anxious cats so I was lowkey dreading leaving her for a whole week. But honestly? Best experience ever. Melissa was patient with her from the start. She didn't try to force anything at the meet-and-greet, just let Luna do her thing and warm up on her own terms. The daily updates were everything. Photos and little notes on how they were doing. Picked Luna up and she was totally chill — no stress, no weeklong sulk session, nothing. Honestly, just book her. Especially if your pet is shy or nervous — she gets it. We're already booked for next time and I won't be going anywhere else.

Melissa has always been very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter for my animals when going out of town. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs all ranging in ages, and Melissa has always been the best at making sure all my special instructions are met when she comes to feed and hang out with them. Especially making sure my 20 year old cat is happy and comforted! She even spends extra time just hanging out with them to make sure they aren’t lonely! I never have to second guess if my animals are taken care of to my standards and knowing my home and belongings are safe.
