She was wonderful! My pets were treated like royalty and I couldn't have asked for more and peace of mind! Thank you so much. Ty

I’ve known Melissa for more than 20 years. She is the most loving, caring and responsible pet owner that I’ve ever met. My dogs get so excited when she comes over to visit or when she takes care of them when I travel. She has experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of. Your pet will be treated like one of her own which means they will be safe, healthy and happy under her care.

Melissa is one of those rare people who animals immediately trust and that speaks volumes. She is genuinely caring, patient, and attentive, and she treats every pet as if they were her own. Melissa has experience caring for both high energy breeds that need structured exercise, stimulation, and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach, extra patience, and close attention to their comfort and routines. She is responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented, which gives us pet parents real peace of mind. Any pet in Melissa’s care will be safe, well exercised, and truly loved. I cannot recommend her highly enough as a pet sitter or dog walker.

I am very happy to provide this reference for my close friend of over 30 years, Melissa as a dog sitter. In addition to being excellent with animals, Melissa is honest and reliable which are qualities that are essential when entrusting someone with a beloved pet. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

To say that Melissa is an animal lover is a gross understatement. She has so much experience taking care of all types of animals. She has a deep passion for dogs and cats but loves all animals. She has experience with small and large dogs-walking, training and providing medication when needed. I would not hesitate to allow Melissa to care for my pets as I know they would be getting the best care possible. They will get all the care they need plus extra cuddles and love.
