Loving Pet Care You Can Count On

I have owned dogs and cats for most of my life. I love walking and running with dogs, taking them to the dog park, or just sitting around with your cat or dog in their home. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes, and behaviors as well as administering any medication.

Melissa dog sat for 10 days at my house. She sent daily photos and updates, Summer seemed very happy in her care!! She left my home better than she found it. I would recommend Melissa to anyone needing a sitter!!

Melissa is the best! Caring, fun, energetic. She is responsible and loves animals. Also loves the outdoors, so great for any pet parent whose pet loves walks or being outside.

Melissa cared for our dog, Copper, like he was her own. She walked him weekly while we were at work and stayed with him whenever we were out of town for the weekend, always giving him so much love and attention. We were so sad when she moved away and couldn’t watch him anymore! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

Melissa is a great sitter and spent almost two weeks house sitting and pet sitting for us! We have two very needy dogs that love attention and walks and had a blast with Melissa. They now have such a special bond and we’d recommend Melissa to anyone 🙂

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I am very comfortable caring for your pet in your home and have reliable transportation so I can be there at any time and/or can drive your pet to a dog park, vet, wherever!

A typical day

I love to walk and play with dogs and play with cats. I will also happily sit with the animals if they older or tired from me playing with them all day!

Let me know if your animals have any specific needs. I am comfortable administering medicine and can adjust my planned activities based on their physical shape and comfort with a stranger or with other dogs.
