Active, fun, enthusiastic dog lover
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Melissa and a giant dog lover and experienced sitter of 9+ years. I understand what it's like to try to find a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter that you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with. Rest assured, I will treat and love them like my own, giving you peace of mind knowing they are in great hands and being very well taken care of. Growing up with rescue dogs, I'm naturally comfortable around big or small dogs with all sorts of backgrounds. I also love to be active with them and take long walks through the neighborhood or spend an hour at the dog park! All in all, you can assure loads of love, attention, and activity! Lastly, I want to note that I do have a small one of my own, Freddie. He is super non-territorial and the worlds most chill dog. For those looking to do day care at my house, please note that he will be here as well. ----

Melissa housesit for us and took good care of our diabetic cat Stella. She took the time before her stay to come over and go through Stella’s daily routine. She was very comfortable administering insulin injections twice a day. We will be booking her again in the future.
Melissa is a wonderful dog sitter! My boy recently went blind and struggles with anxiety, and Melissa was gentle and sweet with him! He requires eye drops and medication and she was on top of it all with ease. Great communication, too! He had a nice, cozy weekend and I never worried one bit!
Melissa is so sweet and accommodating. Artie had a wonderful day with her. She cares for the dogs like her own. I will certainly be booking again. Thank you Melissa!
Melissa is incredible! My husband and I live on the road which isn’t always Furry-Companion-Compatible. We wanted someplace close to the airport for this reason and I’m so glad we found Melissa! I sent her a million details about my dog and she was so incredibly flexible and generous. Her dog kept mine company and he was so relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I’m excited we found Melissa!

I have a gated patio that is perfect for sunbathing and hanging out in! After a long walk, it is the perfect spot to hang out in for awhile.

A typical day
I love to be outside and letting the dogs enjoy the sunshine! Whether it's out on the patio, walks through the neighborhood, afternoons at the dog run, or walking along the ocean front (I'm not too far!) I can assure there will be lots of fun activities. I also have three big bins of play toys that they are welcome to, so even inside there will be plenty to do!
