I know how important trust is, especially with anxious dogs, so I always give pets space and let them warm up at their own pace. I follow routines closely whether that’s with meds, feeding, walks and safety is always my top priority in and outside the home.

I like to know anything that makes your dog feel comfortable whether that’s certain routines, anxiety triggers, favorite toys, or foods they can’t have. Every dog is different, so the more you share, the easier it is for me to give them the same love and structure they get from you. I don’t judge quirks or “weird” habits I just want to be prepared so they feel understood and happy.
Un día normal
A typical day really depends on your dog’s personality. If they’re active, we’ll get outside for walks, sniff breaks, and plenty of playtime. If they’re more chill I’m just as happy to hang out, give belly rubs, or sit outside and people watch together. My goal is always make them happy, feel loved and to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home even while you’re away.

Your Pup’s New Favorite Friend!
Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
I grew up in a family that always had multiple dogs, and with a veterinarian dad, I learned early how to care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes from my own, plus pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. It’s a priority for me to let every dog take their time, feel comfortable, and build trust at their own pace. I’m gentle, reliable, and treat every dog like family and ’ll care for your dog with the same attention I give my own.
Reseñas
My pup loves her already and I am excited for future bookings with her! Melissa is punctual & has a sweet / caring presence that speaks to my fur baby who has anxiety and typically takes time to warm up to people! Thank you for the cute pics too, Melissa!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Melissa has been wonderful! She’s very responsive and constantly kept me updated about my pups with texts, photos and video! Definitely made me feel secure with leaving them with her and I’m very nervous leaving them in general.
Melissa was a great dog sitter and took indie for many adventures and took amazing photos. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter as my little husky can be a handful
