Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Neighbor, Calm Care
Raised a farm girl-pets are family. I’ve been a homemaker for 30 years, yoga balanced and caring for others is what I do best. Golden Retrievers have a special place in my heart-I’ve raised two alongside my three kids. I really enjoy the training process and the connection that comes with it. Grooming, medications and special food prep when needed are second nature to me. I meet pets where they are-changes to routine can be stressful, so I keep things familiar while bringing a calm, positive presence so they feel safe while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets and homes the way I would my own - clean, comfortable and well kept. I’m very detail-oriented (a little OCD, lol) so you can count on all your asks and pets needs being followed through with.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa is great and cares about animals. My shy dog felt comfortable with her as she has a calm demeanor. We will definitely book her for more visits and stays while we are away.
Melissa was very attentive to our pup and went above and beyond to take care of our needs.
Melissa was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was communicative, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our boys with so much love and kindness, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy.
Melissa is truly one of the most trustworthy and caring pet sitters I’ve ever worked with. Not only did I feel completely comfortable leaving my pets in her care, but I also trusted her fully in my home — which is rare these days. You hear so many horror stories, but with Melissa I felt confident that both my animals and my home were being genuinely cared for. She has such a warm, maternal energy that naturally extends to the pets and families she works with. I came home to happy pets, a spotless house, and even a thoughtful loaf of fresh bread waiting for me. After finding Melissa, I honestly don’t feel the need to search for another pet sitter again. I would confidently recommend her to friends, family, or anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly invested in the well-being of your pets and home.
My mom is an incredibly caring and reliable pet sitter who truly treats every animal like her own. She’s patient, attentive, and takes the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on long walks, or just giving extra love and attention, she goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. You can count on her to be responsible, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animals. Any pet would be in great hands with her!
The most responsible & caring pet caregiver you will find! She trained & owned the most well behaved golden you will ever met. Any pet will be lucky to be under her eye.
