Loving, experienced caregiver

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a professional pet sitter who will provide exceptional care to your dogs and cats while you are away from home. I am trustworthy and dependable and have 15 + years of experience. I currently work for a reputable veterinary clinic and my compassion and love for all animals shines through in all aspects of my life. I have 5 fur babies of my own whom my husband takes care of while I'm away! 3 rescue dogs, Baby D, Snookie, and Vinny and 2 cats Cannon and Maximus. I'll treat your four legged kids as if they were my own, showing them affection and the best care! I am experienced in administering medication and dealing with special needs pets including cats, horses, birds and exotics. I look forward to meeting you and the fur kids!

Melissa was an amazing dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our 3 dogs. They were happy and well-cared for while we were away. And everything was clean and tidy when we returned. Thanks Melissa!

Melissa was absolutely fabulous!! Prior to our trip, Melissa took the time to get to know our pups, specifically our youngest (who hadn’t been away from us yet) with some drop ins, which was so incredibly helpful because he was super comfortable by the time we left! Her communication with us was excellent and she went above and beyond for our animals while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we will 100% be booking with her again!
