Safety, trust & environment

I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect. I follow your routines carefully, keep things tidy and consistent, and make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide calm, dependable care so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Melissa G. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pet’s normal routine: when they eat, walk, or play, and what makes them happiest. It’s also super helpful to know about any quirks, favorite toys, or things that might make them nervous so I can keep them comfortable. If they take medication or have any special needs, just let me know so I can make sure everything goes smoothly while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day depends on each pet’s personality and routine, but it usually includes a mix of walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I love going for walks, playing with toys, or just hanging out and giving them company. I always keep their normal schedule in mind so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Loving, dependable pet care

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for all kinds of animals over the years: dogs, cats, birds, and small pets of every personality. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, medication, or a gentler pace. I’m reliable, caring, and intuitive, and I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s walks, drop ins, or overnight care, I follow routines carefully and tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. My goal is to give them the same level of comfort and attention they’d get from you, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Can't ask for more! What a perfect place to leave my dog while we adventured around the area. Our dog played with her sweet dog and was so happy and exhausted when we picked her up- I'm not sure she wanted to leave?! It was such a weight off my shoulders leaving her with Melissa in such a dog friendly environment. Thank you so much!

Melissa was great with our dogs! We have two Basset Hounds that have anxiety from being left by their previous owners and she went out of her way to make them feel comfortable. This was our first time using a service like this so we weren't sure how it would go, but it Melissa was excellent and the whole experience was very convenient!

I was really impressed with Melissa, she was nice when we arrived and very welcoming. I loved that we received photos of how our dog was doing throughout the day. When we arrived to pick up our dog she was really happy to see us but could tell once we got home she had a long day and was tired from all the fun she had frim meeting new doggie friends☺.I highly recommend Melissa she is a really good sitter for your K-9 friend. I would absolutely use her again.
