Pet care experience

I love all animals and I have taken care of pets of every kind my whole life. Whatever your pet needs are, I will gladly provide it with the same care that I provide my own pets. I was also a teacher for over a decade and I have four kids, so I love caring for others.

Melissa is caring and took such good care of our Zoe. Melissa was reliable and trustworthy stopping by to care for our Zoe daily, while we were at work. We will definitely ask Melissa to care for our girl in the future!

Melissa was great and professional. She shared great pics of Toni while I was away and made sure that she was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely ask Melissa to sit again. Thank you again!!

The care I provide is mainly DROP IN VISITS. I do not provide traditional house sitting services, however, I can drop in and check on your pet(s) multiple times a day, depending on your preference. A typical house sitting booking will consist of me checking in on your pet first thing in the morning and again after dinner before bedtime. Some people also like to add a mid-day drop in as well. If you would like for your pet to be walked during a drop in visit, I am happy to do so.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet(s) normal daily routine and I will follow their normal activities the best I can. Let me know if your pet(s) has any anxieties, fears, preferences that could help me make him/her more comfortable while you are away. If your pet(s) have any special needs or medical issues, please provide specific instructions on how to care for your pet. Special things to note: -How long they can go without a potty break. -How much/often your pet needs to be fed. -If snacks are allowed and how much/often. -Off limit zones (example: not allowed on the couch or in the master bedroom) -Any commands they know or commands that are helpful during a walk. -Your pet’s comfort level with other animals/people. -Your pet’s favorite/least favorite activities.

A typical day

I will activate your pet(s) mind and body through structured play or anything that your pet(s) enjoys. We'll play games and explore the neighborhood near your house. Let me know all of their favorite things to do and I will happily include those activities during our visits. My number one goal is to make you and your pet happy.

I am a stay-at-home-mom and a military spouse (with BASE ACCESS), so I can provide pet care (walks, play visits, feedings, etc.) during the weekdays while my children are in school. My nighttime and weekend hours are very flexible if scheduled in advance.
