Never met a dog who didn't love me!

Pet care experience

I'll be honest, I love animals more than people. If I had to choose between being stranded on an island for eternity with one or the other, I would choose animals. Every dog, cat, bird, fish, etc is treated as my own precious fur-babies. My goal is to make sure your baby is happy and knows that they will be loved and cared for until you return home. I got started pet sitting several years ago when a family I used to babysit for went out of town for a week and I offered to watch their three labs while they were away. I had spent lots of time with them so they knew the pups were comfortable with me and they were happy about not having to kennel them.

Melissa watched my three high energy Australian Cattle Dogs, one of which is a puppy and one who is a little leery of strangers, for a week while we were out of the country. We are incredibly picky over who we let stay in our house and be responsible for the dogs and Melissa did not disappoint. She managed medications, meals, play, and maintaining peace in the house without issue. The dogs were happy and very well cared for. I will definitely use her again when we need to travel. It’s hard to trust someone with your beloved pets and Melissa is more than worthy of that trust!

We have used Melissa on multiple occasions with her staying at our house to care for our 50lb golden mix and our indoor/outdoor cat. The dog and cat loved having her and loved to be able to stay in their own comfortable surroundings. Cat and dog were happy, healthy and well-loved when we got home! Will use her again!

Melissa is a kind & caring caregiver. She loves all pets equally- even those pets that don't have four legs. Our dogs bonded to her during Meliss's stay. She kept us updated with pictures while we were away to reduce our anxiety. Melissa is trustworthy without a doubt and extremely reliable. Gayle P.

We have had Melissa take care of our house and 7 dogs and cat for about 41/2 years. We can’t even imagine not having her take care of our furry kids. She is dependable, loyal , helpful, takes charge when things seem unexpected. Never a question of can she handle it because she does all the time. Her rates are reasonable I don’t think you could find anyone as trustworthy as she.
