I work Monday through Friday and am typically off around 4:30pm, which gives me plenty of time for evening and overnight pet sitting. I’m also available early mornings (before 6am) and fully open on weekends and holidays.

About Melissa J.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding times, walks, any special instructions provided, etc. I keep things clean and calm, give lots of love and attention, and always make sure your pet feels secure while you're away. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
Information Melissa J. would like to know about your pet
Before I care for your pet, I like to learn a few important things to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy in my care: Name, age, and breed Any medical conditions and/or injuries Medications or supplements Spayed/neutered? How do they react to new people or other animals? Any triggers, fears, or past behavioral issues? Are they crate-trained or free-roaming? Can they be left alone, and for how long? Feeding schedule (what, when, how much) Treats: Yes or no? Dietary restrictions? Usual potty break and walk schedule Favorite toys or games? What helps them relax or burn off energy? Where are their supplies (leash, food, cleaning products)? Off-limit areas in the home? Home security info (doors, gates, alarms)? Vet contact info, Alternate emergency contact, any special instructions if something unexpected happens
A typical day
When I care for pets in their home, I focus on keeping a consistent routine where they feel safe, loved, and entertained. We’ll go on walks around their neighborhood or to nearby parks for some fresh air and sniffing adventures. I make sure we get lots of playtime. High-energy pups get active games and extra walks, while more mellow dogs enjoy belly rubs and quiet companionship.

Reviews

Melissa did everything that I asked and more! I felt comfortable having her watch my cat while I was gone. She went above and beyond.

Melissa is extremely responsive and proactive when it comes to the care of your pet. We will absolutely use her services again.

Melissa has been great even when my dog has been naughty with getting into the trash. She's always attentive, kind, and communicative. Second time using her and hope to continue if she's willing to handle my dogs naughty behavior.


Always love booking with Melissa. She’s amazing!
