Caring Pet Sitter
My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. Buddy is not neutered so unspayed females are not a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa was an exceptional sitter. Lupine had a great stay. She was very communicative and provided lots of photo updates. Highly recommend her!!

Melissa was the perfect choice for overnight dog sitter while we were away! Her attention to detail and genuine care for our dog was professional and compassionate. We received daily updates and pictures. We will absolutely use her services again!

Melissa was terrific! She stayed with my dog at my house for a week. I knew from our meet and greet that Melissa was trustworthy and loved animals. She and my pup had an immediate connection and I left for my trip without concern. I will be calling her again and highly recommend her services to others. Five stars!
Melissa is one of the best! This was the first time that I left my 3 pups, and Melissa was so comforting to them while I was away. I have a pup that is very anxious and she warmed right up to Melissa. This was house sitting and the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Honestly, there arent enough words to express my appreciation. Thank youso much, Melissa! I will, without a doubt, have you sit for my pups again and again.
Melissa was wonderful with my large dog. She was very communicative and accommodating with our pick up time. We will definitely be referring her and rebooking with her in the future.

Schedule
I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home.

A typical day
I love to go for walks at some of the local trails! We will play and I’ll make sure they receive the love they deserve! If your dog just likes to hang out and relax we will do that too! I'm happy to go with the flow of your daily routine!
