I enthusiastically recommend Melissa as a dog and pet sitter. Let me start by saying I started and ran a successful petsitting business for close to 10 years. I know what is important in terms of character, integrity, honesty, organization and a genuine love for animals in this role. Melissa, without a doubt, holds all of these qualities. First and foremost, Melissa is a homeowner and pet owner. She takes impeccable care of her home and will do the same with yours. Her pets are the top priorities in her life and her love for them and other pets is tender and genuine. She has worked in the veterinary field in various capacities for eight years. She is very knowledgeable and has been an incredible resource from basic conditions to serious illness affecting my pets throughout the years I have known her. She would recognize and and act swiftly on any serious health matter in your absence, and treat any situation as if it were her own pet. My pets are my children, and I would never hesitate to leave any of them in her care. Melissa is organized and dependable. She handles responsibility with confidence and without stress. She can always be relied upon to fulfill what is agreed upon, and is a great communicator who will keep you informed and respond timely to your inquiries and requests. Most of all, your pets will love her! If I could upload a photo to this testimonial it would be the one where my 70 pound dog was upside down across Mel's lap on a couch where there was no room for her, but she found a way to wedge her way in to snuggle with Mel.

Melissa is one of the biggest dog lovers and best animal parents that I know. She is someone that I would whole heartedly recommend to care for any animal. As a new dog parent myself, she is my go-to for any and all dog related questions. Her passion for all animals, dog expertise, and warm demeanor will be apparent from the moment you meet her.
