Pet care experience

Will treat your pets like my own!

I have always had a variety of pets from fish, to cats, to dogs and everything in between. I started pet sitting in college for families who would leave during the winter months and couldn't bring their elderly dogs with them. I loved being able to be with their pets and be a reliable presence while their owners were gone. My family and I love animals and love taking care of pets when their owners are away!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, and a medium sized dog to keep your pet company while you are away. We also love to go on walks around the neighborhood/close by trails.

Melissa has been amazing with updates and timeframes! We already see such a burst of energy with our older dogs going on weekly walks. This has been a huge increase in their quality of life and it means so much to us. Thanks Melissa!!!

Melissa was great. She did everything that I asked and my senior dog took to her right away. Will definitely use again!

Melissa was professional, reliable, and went the extra mile for us!! I will rebook without hesitation—she sent pics and made sure Henry was happy. I had total piece of mind that Henry was getting outside and being fed his meals on time while we were gone.

Melissa was great walking our dog Alfie! We would get a picture each time with updates of how he did. She even put his jacket on him when it was windy out!

Melissa looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable and attentive. Communication was excellent. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were safe and comfortable. She followed instructions carefully, gave medication and prescribed diet on schedule to one of them who is sick. She was brave enough to learn how to do a fluids IV. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only reliable but also compassionate and capable of handling special needs.

How does your pet do around other animals, expecially when out on walks? How often do they need potty breaks? What is the normal routine of your day? I would like to stick to their normal routine as much as I can
