Caregiver with a heart for animals

I’ve had animals in my home for as long as I can remember and understand that pets are family. With over 20 years of professional caregiving experience, providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care comes naturally to me. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and affection, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.

Melissa has been caring for all our fur babies for years (cats, dogs, and our son :) ). She is one of those special people to whom all animals (and kids) are immediately drawn and who is quickly able to develop a relationship with pets. We trust Melissa implicitly would highly recommend her to provide a caring home away from home for your pets!

It’s hard leaving your pets when you have to be away. After finding Melissa, I couldn’t be more relaxed and comfortable! She’s so kind and loving and always is very accommodating. My dog is a rescue and requires a lot of patience to gain trust. She always greets Melissa with big tail wags and smiles. I know Melissa really loves my girl and she feels the same way. I cant recommend her enough!!💖

Melissa is the absolute best!!! We left our dog with her for almost two weeks while we were away and he loved every minute of it. She took him for long walks, and treated him as if he was her own. She kept us up to date throughout the trip and we knew the whole time he was in great hands. He came home and was actually sad to say goodbye to Melissa. I highly reccommed her to anyone!

Schedule

I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, and pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve always had pets in my home and have years of hands-on experience providing loving, reliable care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand the importance of consistency and will care for your pet as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard in the country but will also provide two walks a day and lots of playtime. Our pets are our family and it gives me joy to give them new experiences and bring them with me on adventures. All within the comfort levels of their parents of course.

A typical day

Living in the country provides unlimited fun activities to do outdoors with your pet. Whether it be long walks, hikes in the mountains or splashing around at a local beach.

Must be good with cats with no aggression or prey issues. Just let me know if they love other dogs and I can arrange trips to the dog park if so for extra exercise/stimulation.
