Safety, trust & environment

There’s nothing I like better than relaxing on a couch and cuddling with a furry friend! I also enjoy playing with animals and getting them exercise is mutually beneficial. I’m 45 and over the years I have owned lots of different pets as well as cared for many other people’s pets. I would say my age makes me more reliable then some younger candidates. I don’t party or drink, so I’m not going to last minute cancel or burn your house down. You can absolutely trust that I will care for your home and your pets as though they were my own.

Pet care experience

My love for animals started as a child when my mom opened a dog grooming shop out of our home, my sisters and I got to play with dogs all day, every day and it was fantastic! Since then I’ve house sat many animals as a side hustle. I’m an Esthetician (think skincare) and watch many of my clients pets for them whenever they go out of town. I thoroughly enjoy it and view it as a staycation with fur friends. What could be better?? 🤷‍♀️

Melissa was a fantastic sitter who stayed at our home and took great care of Henry and Charlie while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. She followed all care instructions, handled our dogs’ different personalities with confidence and care, and we came home to happy pups and a clean, well kept house. We will absolutely book Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
