My dogs are more famous than me
Pet care experience
I’ve always loved animals more than humans, and when I was a kid, my dream job jumped between veterinarian and marine biologist. I grew up and became a paralegal, though, and petsitting is how I get my fix! In a past life, I was a vet tech, and I’ve fostered dogs and cats with medical needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, including injections, pills, and inhalers. In my current life, I’m a single mom of two who petsits around my full-time job. I’m available before and after work, and on weekends to take care of your babies’ needs! I love all breeds and temperaments, so if your baby is a bit intimidating or doesn’t make friends easily, that’s ok by me. I’ve yet to meet an animal I couldn’t get along with. And as an avid plant mom, myself, I’ll be more than happy to take care of your houseplants while you’re gone, too! I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Reviews
Always reliable. Always trustworthy. Our little Duchess loves Melissa
Melissa took care of our cats, by dropping in twice a day for a half hour each, again for five days over Thanksgiving and was very communicative the whole time. I know they love seeing her and we trust that she'll always take great care of them.
Melissa was fantastic!! Made me feel very comfortable leaving my cats under her watch. Loved all the pictures she sent to me. She took better photos than I have ever taken. She was also very responsible with the security system and making sure it was armed when she left. Will use her again the next time we have to leave our cats.
Thank you for making sure that my house was left in a secure manner.

A typical day
Whatever your dog enjoys, I'm game for! We can snuggle on the couch and watch TV, play fetch in the yard, go for long walks through the neighborhood, do some obedience training. Just let me know what they love!
