About Melissa D.

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pet just as you do. I will follow your directions and respect your wishes. As you know, your animals' likes and dislikes. I will always protect them and keep them safe. While your fur baby is in my care, I will always make them my priority. They will have my full attention. While at your residence, I make sure their bowls are clean and refilled. I clean and refresh their litter boxes. I check for any accidents and clean appropriately. I always do a visual scan of all fencing and make sure the gates are secure so your pet is safe. I don't mind taking your cans to the curb or bringing in the mail. When my time is up, I secure the animals in their proper area and exit. I do not leave until they have settled and are quiet. I always have excellent, detailed communication, along with pictures for every stay. If the stay includes a walk, I always walk where there are not a lot of distractions, and I choose the safest path. I can assure you I will be the only one petting or touching your animal. I will never leave them alone or allow them to be off-leash.
Information Melissa D. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know what they can tolerate and what they cannot, as in exercise. Also, if they are shy or outgoing. It helps to know if they have a favorite toy or blanket that makes them feel secure. Do they love belly scratches or ear rubs? Are they allergic to anything? Anything you feel I need to know to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, please feel free to inform me. Please leave detailed information and an emergency contact.
A typical day
I love to play with animals and bring out their personalities. I love taking dogs to the dog park so they can interact with other dogs and get plenty of exercise. I love to tease cats with toys so they get stimulated and exercise. For senior animals, the same, but at their own pace. I am willing to walk them at their favorite spots that they are used to and will feel comfortable in their surroundings.

Pet care experience
I am known to go above and beyond from what is expected. I take good care and pay close attention to the fur babies that are in my care. I want you to be able to relax and not worry about anything when your gone and be rest assured your fur babies will be waiting to greet you with a huge smile and a big tail wag when you return. Ever since I could remember I loved to be around animals. I am patient and have never met a dog I didn't like. I believe every animal deserve to be loved and treated with proper care. I have owned and taken care of animals that were rescues and are nervous in the world. I love a challenge so a misbehaved or timid and shy dog I know need extra patience and care. I have taken care of disabled dogs that need help to potty or walk. I have trained puppies to seniors. I know animal CPR and first aid.
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Melissa did a great job taking care of Daisy. This was her first time being watched by a cat sitter alone since our sweet Elmer passed away. Melissa made sure to find her every visit and send me pictures of her hiding spots. She was very communicative every step of the way and it was a huge relief for me to be able to rely on her to look after Daisy while I was gone.
My first time needing a pet sitter so I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect but ended up having a wonderful experience. My sweet boy was well cared for; it’s obvious from his demeanor when I assumed back home. I appreciate that Melissa was attentive at our initial meeting and did the little things that mean a LOT to fur babies Will definitely book again.
Melissa was very dependable. She took good care of my cat, fed him ,cleaned cat boxes, played with him & sent me updates. Melissa even got him to come out of hiding. Thanks I will use you again.
Melissa is fantastic! She is professional and reliable and our dogs loved her ❤️
