Discounts for essential workers!

Pet care experience

During this difficult time I am still available. I understand essential employees are still working & harder than ever with longer shifts. This means less time at home caring for your pets. Please contact me if I can assist in any way. With proof of being an essential employee (police, fire, healthcare, e.t.c) I will give you a special discount. Stay safe! I have been an animal owner and lover since childhood. I will love & care for your pet as if they are my very own. I'm extremely attentive & will keep a very close eye on them. I have no problem giving them love, attention & exercise when they need it and I have plenty of patience to do so. I have experience with large & small breed dogs including seniors & puppies. I've seen a little of everything including the teething, injured, anxious, healing, rambunctious, aging and everything in between. I pay attention to the details & any instruction given. I've dealt with all types of temperaments. I have cared for animals after surgeries due to illness as well as after neutering. I will administer medications in a proper manner. I've spent the last few days of several dogs lives loving them & ensuring they're comfortable. I'm great with cats too as I've had them most of my life. We will become friends fast & they will enjoy their time with me. They will be so excited to see me once we get acquainted! Allow me to care for your baby when you can't.

Melissa was wonderful! Our cat, Tuck, is our fur baby, so we're not just looking for someone to feed him and change the litter. We want our pet sitter to play with Tuck and keep him company while we're away. Melissa did all that we wanted and more. Tuck can be anxious with new people, but he warmed up to Melissa very quickly, and she genuinely seemed to care about him too. She sent us detailed updates with every visit, including multiple pictures, so we knew Tuck was doing great. Melissa even took out the trash and brought in the mail for us. She was very caring and kind with Tuck, but also very professional. We would definitely ask Melissa to watch Tuck again.

I can't recommend Melissa highly enough! Both of my pups loved her instantly, and they were extremely well-cared for. Communication was excellent, and Melissa was very thorough in sending photos and detailed updates. We booked her as an in-home overnight sitter, and she left the house in exactly the condition that she found it. My two very content dogs (and my family) would welcome her back anytime!

Melissa was the best. She really is patient and has a genuine love for all animals. She also communicated with us daily. We knew Kitty was in good hands. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Kitty again. She goes the extra mile. ?

Melissa has always been very dependable with our pets. She always showed up when needed and worked with us no matter what we requested. Shes's walked our dog for years and he loved it. She has also checked in on our cats for several different occassions. When we are away I know they're all in good hands. We highly recommend Melissa! She loves what she does and it really shows!

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

Tell me a little about your fur baby! Please let me know if there's any physical ailments, is taking any medications, treatment or behavior issues. None of these are a problem but it helps so I know what is expected of me and how to handle them accordingly.

A typical day

On our walks I like to find the safest space close by to enjoy. Usually I try to find a park or trail to enjoy nature and to be safe. I determine play time & fun things depending on their age, needs & abilities. We can usually walk, run, fetch, tug of war or other work on some training methods.
