Critter Sitter
Pet care experience
I have taken care of animals for 30+ years. My mother has always rescued and fostered and she had me helping her at a young age. I have helped raise all types of animals with different needs and personalities and I love them all. Comfortable with cats dogs and exotic pets. I raised a pitbull for 14+ years who had prey drive. Trying to find a pet sitter for her was a nightmare. A lot of times I could not leave town because there was no one who I trusted enough to handle her. I worked with professional trainers to learn how to control her on walks, so I am comfortable watching pets with behavioral issues. I have experience with senior animals and those with health conditions that need extra love care and attention.
Reviews
Melissa is a true dog person. My dog was with her for 3 days and I was getting consistent updates about how the experience was going. She sent photos, videos and texts. I felt super comfortable with Melissa and will use her again!!
Melissa is a great, reliable sitter . Highly recommend
Melissa took amazing care of my two pups! She sent awesome pictures and had great communication. My dogs had a wonderful time. I highly recommend her and will surely be using her again in the future 😊
Melissa was awesome with my dog! She was loving and attentive and sent me pics and updates while I was gone. I will totally boo with her again when I need to board my sweet Daisy!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pet to run and play. I have a pool if your pet likes to swim. I also have a fence around the pool to block your pet off if your pet is not a swimmer. All beds and couches are pet friendly in my house :) I keep all furniture covered with clean sheets which I usually change daily. I have 2 cats and a very friendly 18 year old dog named Marshall. If your pet is not friendly with others I have the means to safely separate the animals and rotate walks and playtime.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has special needs or needs extra time and attention so I can accommodate your pet as best as possible
A typical day
A typical day would be morning playtime outside in the back yard. Then we have breakfast and relax on the couch while I do some work on the computer. Then we go on a long walk/jog (depending on the dogs needs). Sometimes we’ll swim in the pool or go to the beach or dog park.

Availability
I work part time and it’s only a few days a week. My shifts are flexible so if your pet has specific needs that require me to be with them for an extended amount of time I can accommodate that.
