Above & beyond for your pets

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience with medication administration, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors. House and pet sitting have always been my specialties. I'm adept at walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with pets of all kinds. I'm thrilled to meet new furry friends and offer them the care and companionship they deserve.

Melissa is always great and flexible to changing needs. My kittehs love her and she clearly loves them!

Melissa cared for my two kittehs for almost a week and they were excellently looked after. She gave meds along with food/water, and lots of playtime. She provided thorough updates each day and cute photos of both of them. I’ll definitely book with her again, next time I’m out of town!

Melissa did an awesome job taking care of Colfax over the holidays. She was great at getting him out for walks and showing him attention. Daily pictures were much appreciated too. You can really tell she loves pets and my dog enjoyed her attention and care. I’ll be using Melissa again in the future.
