Pet care experience
Cuddles, Playtime, Treats & LOVE💛
I have fostered over 700 animals since 2017, ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior cats and dogs. My sister is a vet and manages an animal rescue in which I help out with, so I have a wealth of knowledge, experience and resources to care for whatever your fur babies need!

Safety, trust & environment
I ask for a full, detailed description on how to care for your fur babies and follow it accordingly so I can continue their normal daily routines in the comfort and safety of their own home. I make sure to respect your space and leave your home as clean as it was when you left it... or cleaner!
Ratings and reviews
Melissa was great! She answered my request right away. She came over to meet Penny soon after we spoke. I'm convinced Penny adopted her as family right away. Melissa sent daily pictures of morning and evening walks, made sure Penny was eating and pottying properly, and gave her lots of cuddles. I would definitely recommend Melissa to care for your fur baby in your absence.
Took great care of both my cats!


We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Melissa! She stayed in our home for 10 days while we were traveling and took absolutely excellent care of our puppy. From the start, Melissa was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced—she sent us regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of caring for our dog, Melissa went above and beyond by watering our plants, taking out the garbage and recycling, and keeping the house spotless. Everything was just as we left it—if not better! What really stood out to us was her dedication and kindness. When it looked like our flight home might be canceled, Melissa offered to stay an extra night—despite having a family emergency and a flight of her own the next morning. That kind of reliability and compassion is rare, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring sitter. She is truly exceptional

Melissa is a wonderful care giver for our older dog. She was patient, loving and respectful in our home for the 3 day stay. We can't wait to have her return!

We loved having Melissa in our home watching our dachshund. Our dog is elderly and takes medication and Melissa was great with her. We loved the updates and we knew she was receiving great care.

Thank you, Melissa! You did a great job with my shy, and sometimes grumpy old timer. I really appreciate the detailed note. We look forward to having you visit again.
