Ratings and reviews
Melissa is amazing. Kind and consistent, she really made it easy to trust her with our dog. We will miss her!!
Melissa is my corgi's new favorite walkie auntie, and they cannot understand why she only stops by with her wonderful playdates once in a while - entirely Mom's fault of course. We are so appreciative of her quick responses when we find ourselves in need of an extra pair of hands to take care of our high energy working doggos, and the pups really get incredibly excited every time she arrives
Melissa did such a good job with our pup Sophia! She managed to help us in a pinch too and the house was clean. Would recommend and rebook!
Melissa takes great care of my corgis. Very happy to work with her and look forward to doing so again.
Melissa was very helpful. She took great care of our two fuzzy loves and sent us some very cute pictures. Will definitely be asking her for help again in the future. 👍👍
Melissa was great! She came over prior to the booking to meet Peach and go over instructions and answer questions. She sent updates throughout while we were away and when we returned Peach was happy and our house was clean and clearly respected. Couldn't ask for anything more! Thanks again, Melissa!

Schedule
I am fully self-employed so my schedule is flexible for most situations. I can drop in to care for (or walk) your pet while you are at work or away for extended periods of time. I always send daily photos to show they are being loved while you are gone!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
No one knows your pet better than you, so I always make sure I pay attention and heed the advice and instructions of the owner about how their pet likes to be treated. Some dogs love to be played with and perform tricks to get treats, while other dogs are nervous or in the process of learning not to jump on people when they first walk in. Likewise, cats have very different personalities and must be treated as indiviuals. Some cats run to the door like a dog to be greeted and picked up, while others would prefer to be left alone since you are not their human (though I usually win them over quickly!).
