Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH Sitter, 19 yrs of pet care :)
I’ve lived with or cared for other’s dogs and cats for about 19 years! I grew up with our family dog Brisco (a pit bull / German Shepard rescue), and plan to one day rescue a dog of my own. I love to travel and explore new places, so caring for dogs and cats of friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors has always made sense! I work fully remote from my laptop, so I can stay at home happily with your pets as long as there is good wifi. I've cared for many personality types, activity levels, and health needs over the years, all of which I can easily adapt to. From dogs who need multiple walks a day to couch potatoes; from animal-friendly to reactive on leash, from separation anxiety to total independence, and everything in between. I am active so I love walks and being outside! I will always respect your preference of care for your pets, while being attune to changing behaviors and needs. Once, I was caring for my neighbor's beagle during a week-long sit, and I noticed something off. I contacted her parents and shared my concerns. They agreed to let me take her to the vet the next morning, and found out she had an infection in her mouth that required antibiotics. With permission from her parents, I got her the care she needed, and she was back to normal in a couple of days. I have cared for many rescues + mixes, labs, golden retrievers, huskies, pitties, doodles, Shiba Inus, terriers, beagles, greyhounds, dobermans, basset hounds, vizslas, puppies, senior dogs, and more. I love all dogs and kitties, big and small, and have the gift of connecting with animals and making them feel safe and loved.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. I stay as closely to their regular routine as possible while caring for your pet(s) and also prioritize keeping your home tidy as if it were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Our cats adore Melissa and they were taken care of so well - as was our house. We were away during a few very hot days and not only did Melissa keep the house fairly cool (without air conditioning) but watered our gardens. We appreciated her daily communication about how things were going and the pictures of Hamish & Fergus hanging out and playing.


Great communication, lots of pics and very clean house upon our return. Highly recommend Melissa!



Onyx and I both love Melissa so much! She takes amazing care of him every time, takes wonderful care of my apartment and is super communicative. I must say she takes some awesome photos and videos of him too. I can’t recommend her enough. Onyx is always soo excited to see her and was even a bit depressed after she left! Thank you as always 🥰

Melissa is a delightful person and excellent cat sitter - and so helpful taking care of our house, too. Our furry "boys" just love her.


Melissa took wonderful care of our cats and house. We enjoyed our communication with her and photos throughout our trip.


As always, an excellent visit. Happy hound. Happy house.

Schedule
I work fully remote from my laptop, so I can give lots of time and attention to your pet(s) for play, cuddles, and their needs.
