Big or small, I love them all!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a huge animal lover. I've had dogs and cats growing up since I was about 10 and am now a ferret momma as well! I've also done lots of dog and cat sitting for friends and neighbors and I am happy to give references. I have experience caring for cats, ferrets, and dogs of all ages and sizes. When caring for your animals, I will keep as close as possible to your normal schedule and can accommodate pets with special needs. Your dogs will go on frequent walks and get as many pets and cuddles as they want!
Reviews
We have booked Melissa to watch over our two kitties every time we have been away for the last year and a half. She makes it so easy and seamless and we know our cats are being well cared for. Even our most shy kitty seems to come out to greet her for every visit!
Outstanding as always! Melissa is by far the best pet sitter we’ve every used!
We are repeat customers with Melissa. Our kitties come out to greet her immediately when usually they hide. We travel easier knowing that she’s taking care of them and she sends lots of good pictures to keep us updated!
My boys absolutely love Melissa and I always have peace of mind while they are in her care.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small apartment, but a small dog would be quite comfortable and we have a small dog park nearby and a dog-friendly church next door with a lot of space to walk. I also have the proper cage and setup for ferrets!
Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs regardless of size or breed. I would just like to know if your dog is a DINOS (dog in need of space), if he has any disabilities I should be aware of (eg breathing problems, disc problems, hip dysplasia) or if he has any food allergies (for treats!) so that I can be sure our walks are safe and comfortable for your good boy or girl.
A typical day
With Knoxville being such a pet-friendly place, there are so many places to go! If your dog likes being around other people and dogs, I LOVE taking a happy pup on a visit to Downtown Knoxville for a stroll around Market Square. I am part of a meetup group with dog owners so we can go on walks together., or if your dog prefers to walk alone, I live near a dog-friendly church with sprawling, quiet grounds that are great for an afternoon stroll.

I work very reliable hours Monday through Friday full-time in an office. My job starts at 8 am and ends at 5pm with an hour lunch from 12-1 where I can run home to do walks and feedings. I also get most holidays off.
