A walk a day will keep the vet away

Pet care experience

Friends and family continuously count on me to take care of their pets (aka my nieces and nephews) for weekends or even months at a time. They know their pets are well taken care of.

Melissa took wonderful care of my dog, and sent updates and photos. The house was left in great shape, and she stripped the bed. I highly recommend her!

I've known Melissa my whole life and I can say with absolute confidence that she can and will be a great pet caregiver. She's had experience with both dogs and cats and she's always done a great job. For 10+ years we would take care of a family friend's dog, Figo, when they went on vacation and Melissa always made sure to follow the routines they gave her. He was shown so much love and care that we were basically his second family, and a big part of that was Melissa's hard work in caring for him. I 100% recommend Melissa and know she will show as much care to any pet as she did to Figo.
