Family Pet Care and House Sitting

I’ve grown up with dogs in my life. From shelties, Brittany spaniels, pits and golden doodles, we’ve had many furry family members over the past 30 years. My two sons, Tim (16) and Zach (14) partner with me to provide care services for family pets while they are away. We enjoy working together and serving others.

Safety, trust & environment

Making sure our clients feel safe and secure is priority. You can expect myself and my two sons to be present during drop in visits and scheduled walks. This adds a layer of safety especially for clients with multiple pets. We have extra eyes and hands to check doors and monitor surroundings while on walks.

So great meeting Melissa and her son, Timothy this morning. My dogs enjoyed their walk and were extremely comfortable right off the bat. I am so happy to come across Melissa’s profile and looking forward to more walks in the future for my fur babes. ❤️ Thank you!!

Melissa was amazing!! I had a last minute trip and needed someone to walk my dogs during the day while I was out. Melissa responded to my request immediately. Her communication was exceptional and she sent pictures everyday after the walks. My dogs looked happy and tired after each walk. I was a little worried about giving access to someone I didn’t know to my home and my pets but she was great and made me feel completely comfortable. I will definitely be using Melissa again.
