Safety, trust & environment
I don’t offer boarding at this time, but during house sitting or drop-in visits, I make it a priority to ensure owners can trust me. I treat the home with respect, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

A typical day
I enjoy long walks, so you can be confident your pets will get plenty of exercise if requested. I also enjoy playtime, fetch, or simply spending time giving attention and affection, depending on each pet’s needs and personality.

Pet care experience
I truly love all dogs, and you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in caring and capable hands with me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra support. Having cared for my own diabetic dog, I’m comfortable giving insulin, administering other shots or medications, and keeping pets on a consistent routine to support their health and happiness. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶🫶🏼
Reviews
Melissa has watched our four girls for almost a year now. She is amazing with our dogs. The level of care she provides is so comforting to us while we are away for a week at a time. I highly recommend Melissa!
Melissa took wonderful care of my two dogs and was reliable, communicative, and professional throughout the week while I was traveling. She even handled a few unexpected messes with kindness and without hesitation, which I truly appreciated. I came home to two happy dogs and would absolutely book Melissa again!
Melissa has become our go to pet sitter. This was our third time booking her and she goes above and beyond for our pets !
I am so thankful that Melissa was the one watching our pets. She went out of her way to make myself feel comfortable and reassured that everything was handled correctly; pictures and updates consistently. She was able to deal with a power outage for over 12 hours, and at our house that meant everything was out. The water, the internet and the lights. I appreciate her hard work and I would very highly recommend her petsitting services. Our pets were very well taken care of!
