Pet care experience

Keeping Your Pets Happy & Safe! :)

What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Melissa is really good. Pixie loved her stay her with Melissa. I think Pixie was a little sad leaving her😅 Melissa was amazing with letting us know Pixie was doing and she took great care of her. We used to get pictures regularly.

Melissa took incredible care of my high-maintenance FLUTD cat Wally for the weekend! He was fed on time, got plenty of play, and his litterbox was spotless. I received plenty of pictures and updates and my instructions were followed to a T! I will definitely be booking with Melissa again! 👍

Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!

Melissa was incredible! Very communicative, sent the cutest pictures of my boys, and took care of everything very well. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies while they are away!

Schedule

Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.
