Pet care experience

Reliable and flexible

Growing up as parents who were dairy farmers taught me how to take care of animals at a young age. I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a French bulldog of my own. I love dogs and will be sure to make sure your pet is well looked after. I will treat your dog as if it is my own and will give them the best treatment they deserve!

Melissa was super responsive from the beginning and easy to coordinate drop off and pick up! Apollo was super happy with her and her pup. I’d definitely rebook!

I've had the joy of watching Melissa grow into one of the most caring, responsible, and animal-loving people I know. From a very young age, she has had a natural connection with pets - whether it's dogs, cats or even the more unusual furry friends, Melissa approaches each one with patience, affection and respect. She is not only reliable and trustworthy but also genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, making sure they feel comfortable, loved and well cared for. Whether she's going for long walks, keeping pets company while their owners are away, or just spending time playing and bonding, Melissa brings warmth and attentiveness to everything she does. Any pet would be luck to have her as a sitter or a walker, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looing for someone who will treat their pets like family.
