Melissa loves dogs, and her own two are her “children”. She is a caring and responsible woman. We would certainly trust her with our pets.

Melissa is the best! My 2 dogs absolutely love her, and one is ALWAYS anxious with new people. She is always on time, and you can tell how much she loves animals. We have her walk them on occasion and also house sit when we go out of town, we trust her completely. The house is exactly as we left it when we get home, and the dogs are healthy and happy. Can't say enough good things, super happy with how things have gone so far!

Melissa is amazing! She watches our two dogs whenever we’re out of town and makes the whole experience completely stress-free. She’s super reliable, communicates really well, and I always feel totally comfortable having her in our home. Our pups absolutely love her—she sends the sweetest updates and pictures, and every time we come back, it’s clear they’ve been in great hands. Melissa is our go-to dog sitter/walker, and I’d recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I plan ahead to make sure I can give each pet the attention they need, and I build in time for play, exercise, and updates for pet parents.
