Availability
I’m a full-time pet sitter and am home most of the day, aside from occasional errands. When I’m out, it’s usually for just two to four hours at most. I love being present and available so your pet never feels alone. Thanks so much for considering me!

About Melissa D.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a 6-foot-high, fully fenced yard that is regularly checked between visits to ensure it remains secure. Crates are not required, but I do prefer them for sleeping, as they provide a safe, quiet space for rest or downtime if a pet needs a break.

Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet
It’s always helpful for me to know what a typical day looks like for your pup, including any medications, where they usually sleep, any elopement tendencies, and of course anything else that’s unique or important to them.
A typical day
A typical day in my home can include anything from a game of fetch, scent-work treat searches (a favorite!), to neighborhood or park walks with plenty of time for sniffing and exploring. We also make lots of time for rest and naps — because who doesn’t love a good nap?

10 Years of Professional Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have spent years caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pet sitting for friends, family, and clients. Over time, I realized this is something I truly love and feel called to do on a larger scale. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s personal. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing lots of love, attention, and affection while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’m always an open book and happy to answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel completely at ease. We’re lucky to have a beautiful park just up the block, which is perfect for walks, fresh air, and enrichment. Your pet will be well cared for, loved, and treated like family while you’re away. A personal note: I had to say goodbye to my beloved girl, and it has been incredibly difficult. She remains part of my profile because she is still very much part of my heart. I wanted to be transparent with my wonderful clients and let you know she is no longer with us. Caring for your babies during this time has been deeply healing for me, and I’m so grateful for the trust you place in me. Please hug your pets a little tighter for me 🤍

Melissa was fantastic! Her communication, care, and attention to our dogs were all top notch.
Melissa was great and it’s so apparent how much she loves animals! She sent us great updates with pictures. I always knew my pup was ok. I highly recommend her!!
Once again, another wonderful stay for my fur baby! Thank you Melissa.
Melissa is amazing as always. I’ve used her many times to watch my dog. She comes highly recommended!
