Reliable, Responsible & Dependable

Pet care experience

With all that is going on in the world, the last thing you want to have to worry about is who is caring for your beloved pet when you are not. You want someone who you trust, who you could depend on to be punctual and follow care instructions, someone who keeps you updated and will send a pic or two on their visits! I’ve been pet sitting for OVER 10 years & come with a magnitude of experience! Schedule a Meet & Greet with me TODAY to see if I’m a good candidate to be YOUR next sitter! NOTE:A Meet & Greet is a one time event to just make sure we all vibe well together. ;) **SERVICES & Descriptions of the care I provide.** ———————————-DROP-IN———————————- Quick and Easy and priced accordingly!!! Great for dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs and more. All pet needs are different. Drop-ins are great for flexible care- whether you are on vacation and need your cats litter box changed a couple times- or decide on that last minute after work happy hour {wink wink} and want your pup walked quick….a drop-in will just give you that extra helping hand without breaking your budget! These typically last 20-30 minutes depending on your pet. Monday - Friday 7am - 8:15am & 5:15pm - 7:00pm Saturday 9am - 4pm Sunday 9am - 3pm ****Please inquire if you need this service outside of my listed hours and I will try my best to accommodate. ———————————-DOG WALKING————————— Typically consists of a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood or playtime in the owners yard or home. **If your pup is like mine & doesn’t like to walk or play & only needs a quick potty break and feeding- please select a drop in & save some money. {wink} Monday - Friday 5:15pm - 6:00pm Saturday 9am - 4pm Sunday 9am - 3pm ****Please inquire if you need this service outside of my listed hours and I will try my best to accommodate.

Melissa was very nice and understanding with Bailey. She returned to us calm and content. When she's away from us, she seems to get nervous and more anxious, but Melissa handled Bailey with great care.

Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet

I ALWAYS like to do meet and greets at least a day or two before the first initial drop-in is scheduled. I would like to get to know your pet(s) a little. If I am walking them, I would need to know where the harnesses/leashes are kept. If I am feeding them, I woud need to know the feeding instructions: Where the food is kept, how much the pup gets, if there are multiple pups in the household, do I need to supervise the feedings to be sure everything goes smoothly, eg.)

A typical day

I usually like to take instructions as per the owners to keep the pups schedule as normal as possible while the owner tends to life.
