Pet care experience

Dogs dig me

I have a beautiful Labrador, and eight cats. They are all spoiled rotten. I have several pet clients who trust me to care for their fur babies when they go away, or just let them out to potty when they are at work. I will take excellent care of your pets, so you have the best time when you are away.

Melissa DePriest is an excellent pet sitter. She is conscientious, trustworthy, and very in tune to your pets needs. She is very knowledgeable about cats, dogs, horses, etc. Melissa has cared for more than 10 years for my two horses and six cats for three months each year when I go to Florida for 3 months. I highly recommend Melissa to take great care of your beloved pets and your house.

I always want to come meet your pets before you go away. That way they get to know me and get comfortable. I do like to feed them treats to insure a positive energy. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable when I am caring for them.
