Because your pets are family!

Pet care experience

I am a proud dog mom of 3 beautiful terriers that works from home and has lots of time to help care for your pets when you are away. I am available to walk, feed, check on, and give attention to your little guys and gals during the week and on weekends. I prefer to keep close to home in the Woodstock/Towne Lake area. I have experience with dogs of any age (I just lost my 20 year old Rat Terrier last year and we miss him every day.) I can administer oral medications, eye drops/medications, and ear treatments. Always open to special requests and specific needs.

Melissa is absolutely the best dog sitter/walker that we have ever used for our dogs! So happy she is back to work with the little furry ones again. Cannot wait to book.

When I first met Melissa Croce, she had her dog, Chloe, by her side and she started explaining to me all the issues Chloe has with her eyes, explaining her surgeries, medications, etc. and the lengths that her and her husband go through to make sure their dogs are cared for as much as possible. Then, she told me that they had bought a new home where the yard and spatial layout was more suitable for her dogs. I immediately identified with her and knew without a doubt that if I ever had an emergency, if I ever had my dogs under Melissa’s care that I would have no worries whatsoever. If you need a pet sitter that will put your pet’s needs at a high priority, keep them safe, give them love and attention while allowing you to limit work day stress or enjoy a vacation, Melissa Croce is your solution!

Mellisa would be an awesome dog sitter or dog walker. She has always been a dog lover but I have seen the love and care first hand she has for her own dogs some of which have "special needs" . She is devoted, energetic and compassionate with her own animals like a mother loves her children! I believe she would be espacially sensitive and caring for any animal in her care. A pet owner who would be lucky enough to have Melissa care for their animals would immediately feel confident that she would do any and everything for a dog in her care as she would treat them with great love like she treats her own! I most sincerely recommend Melissa for Rover and know she will do an outstanding job!

Melissa treats dog as if they are her children, She has 3 of her own and has been a dog lover and owner of dogs for all of her adult life. I would trust her with any dog as she is such a lover and care giver that she would be excellent for a dog sitter. Agnes J

Safety, trust & environment

When checking in or walking/exercising other people's pets I believe the most important safety precaution is to follow all owner directions regarding their pets. Every pet is different and they require individual care.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

The initial consultation is VERY important to discuss any special issues or needs the pet may have. I believe you cannot have too much information to provide the best care.

A typical day

Every dog is different so they require different types of care and playtime. Older pets may just like a sunny, slow walk while a young terrier may want to "wrestle." As long as they are having fun and getting what they need from our visit I have done my job.
