Above & beyond animal lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been an avid animal lover my entire life, but dogs have always had my heart! I have 2 beautiful (spoiled) girls of my own and my world revolves around them. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes and will treat any animal in my care as if it is my own- I’ve dealt with behavioral issues as well so I would be comfortable working with pets that may need any sort of extra precaution or special instructions. Personally I am very paranoid about my dogs, especially leaving them under anyone else’s care (shameless helicopter mom) and I know a lot of pet parents are the same way- I will happily do any special requests or do whatever it takes to assure you so you can be comfortable and confident that your furry babies are in good hands!

As usual, Melissa took great care of Houdini. She always goes above and beyond and gives him extra attention, you can tell he loves her from the pictures. She also watered our plants! Thank you Melissa!

Melissa is fantastic with my dog Winter. She seems to care about him in ways that other sitters don’t. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in good hands with her.
