Pet care experience
Hi! In 2016, we said goodbye to our little Lilo, a 13 yr old chihuahua-pekinese mix after loving her more than we could have ever imagined for 10 long years. We adopted Benny (7yr old Lhasa Apso-Pekingese mix) almost two years later. I grew up with a cock-a-poo, a rottie-shepard and a lab/ridgeback mix, and what I learned is that every dog is different and special in their own way. Caring for you dog will be no different!! My specialty is small dogs, and senior dogs, but my heart is big enough for all shapes, sizes and stages of life. I'm patient, kind, good-natured and respectful of how you want your dog to be handled, all while being fully capable of maintaining alpha status. I also LUV cats. 😻 Looooove. Looking forward to meeting your fur-baby! Sorry we don't do overnights.
Reviews
Melissa was absolutely delightful and I cannot recommend her enough!
Melissa was great - very communicative and took good care of our cat, Ludlow, while we were gone. She even managed to cut her nails a bit (which is a feat!). Much appreciated and will definitely book Melissa again!
Melissa took great care of my cat and gave thorough reports and pictures. She even got my shy cat to come out of hiding while she was there.
I couldn’t be any happier with Melissa as a cat sitter. Melissa went above and beyond any other cat sitter I’ve ever had and made what is typically a stressful task to book around the holidays into a completely stress-free experience. Will gladly book again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
Pet care is about trust and respect. Animals have body language and I’m receptive, open, and respectful of their attitudes, demeanor, and trust! I promise to love them as much as they will allow me.
Information Melissa C. would like to know about your pet
Temperament (happy, hyper, low energy, timid, worried), Any place they do not like to be touched (belly, ears, paws), How do they interact with other dogs (certain breeds, other sizes), children, other? Favorites (toys, commands, treats, places to go)?
A typical day
Depending on the energy level of your pup, we can walk, run, play in the park, or take a leisurely stroll around the block. I like to switch up the routine to keep things fresh and keep the dog stimulated. I will brush your cat and play with toys and offer all the noggin scratches they desire.
