Highlights
Pet care experience
Love, Care, and Belly Rubs
Hi! I’m Melissa, a pet lover with 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I live in a cozy, non-smoking apartment near Plaza/Westport, and I’m home most of the time, so your pet will get lots of attention, regular walks, and plenty of love. I offer boarding, house-sitting, drop-ins, daycare, and walks. I treat every furry friend like family. You can expect daily photo updates, regular potty breaks, and a calm, comfortable environment. I adjust to the needs of your pet! I love getting to know each pet and their personality, and I’m here to make both you and your pet feel comfortable. I usually respond within a few minutes and am known for being flexible and easy going. Let’s chat about your pet and schedule a meet & greet!

Ratings and reviews
Melissa did a fabulous job taking care of our kitty!
Melissa was wonderful with our two small pups. One is sweet but a little shy, the other is old, blind and a bit confused. We were away for two weeks and came back to calm, happy dogs. Mel is also punctual and reliable. Highly recommend Mel!
Melissa is fabulous! So attentive to my fur babies and always makes sure they are safe while I'm away 🫶🏼
Melissa is exactly the sitter every pet owner hopes to find. From the moment I reached out, Melissa set the tone for what turned out to be a genuinely stress-free experience. She responded quickly to my initial message and stayed communicative throughout — consistently sending updates with her photos. What really impressed me was how adaptable she was. When an unexpected schedule change came up on my end, she handled it gracefully and found a solution right away — truly resourceful in the best way. Reliability matters most when you’re trusting someone with your pet, and Melissa delivered on every front. She showed up when she said she would, followed care instructions carefully, and went above and beyond to make sure my cats felt comfortable and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable who actually communicates and genuinely cares — look no further. Melissa has a returning client in me. 🐾
Super reliable and very good at what she does. Cooper loves her.
Melissa was perfect and extremely attentive to my fur babies and to-do lists!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and Rover is my full-time job. I can be available for boarding, house sitting, walking, or drop-in visits the day of service needed. When boarding and house sitting I provide multiple walks a day! When house sitting, I usually bring my furry assistant, Peach, a 23 pound female mini aussiedoodle. She loves to play and meet new doggy friends. Please reach out with any questions regarding any service that I offer.
