Pet care experience

will love your fur baby like my own

Hi!! I have a special love of animals!! I have a small, 4 pound dog that is actually a certified service animal. He was certified after losing my 3 month old son on Thanksgiving night 2016!! He is very very well trained and gets along with others. I will love your fur baby like my own! I can accommodate and gladly honor any special needs or requests to make your pet as happy and comfortable as possible!! The care and love that I can give your pet is definitely from my heart! Give me a chance to give your pet a great day everyday that you are away or need drop in visits or dog walks. Whether you are away for a week, a day, or just an average work day, I would love to have the opportunity to care for your baby!!

Melissa did a great job! Both dogs and the cat were very well cared for. She was also very patient with all my crazy instructions! She’s great!

First time having Melissa sit for us and she was incredible! She watched our babies (dogs & cats) while we were on vacation for a week. We came back to a clean household and very happy pets! She goes above and beyond and I would trust Melissa 100% with my animals (I am very particular about who I leave them with!) I hope to have her be my go-to sitter in the future!

Schedule

I never ever watch more than one family’s pets at one time! When you entrust me to care for your pets your pets are my #1 priority. When you decide to allow me to take care of your pet(s), I do everything possible to ensure that they maintain their normal daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I would like for you to know that although I do have 2 wonderful small fur babes of my own, I never bring them along when I take care of your babies! I believe that your pets deserve 100% of my care and attention!! I do not want your babies to be uncomfortable in their own environment by bringing my dogs into unfamiliar territory! I do prefer house sitting in order to keep your pets in their normal routine as much as possible!
