Availability
I work remotely most of the time and in an entrepreneurial environment so I inherently have flexibility in my schedule, and can fit pet care into my daily schedule

Information Melissa K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if there are experiences, activities, or behaviors that your pets strongly love or hate, and I always love to know more about their personality traits and needs.
A typical day
For dogs, I love to take them for good length walks by the river and forest for lots of fresh air, smells, and exercise. I also love to play ball and give them affection.. For cats, I love to play games that involve jumping and climbing, get outside on porches and patios when possible, and snuggle those who enjoy that

Responsible Entrepreneurial PetCare
Pet care experience
I am an energy infrastructure development executive and entrepreneur who loves to do other work like this locally. I am an experienced, responsible, and fun family-oriented option for support, care, and love for your pets, as my 9 year old son will typically accompany me. I offer drop-in visits and walks. I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs most of my life - growing up with golden retrievers, yellow labs, a husky, German shepards, and a range of domestic short haired cats, including currently our amazing 1 year old cat named Knuckles. I enjoy meeting more great dogs and cats, and more neighbors by helping when folks are traveling, working long hours, or have other constraints.
Reviews
Melissa is a wonderful pet sitter who goes above & beyond to make sure your pet is happy & well cared for. It's an extra bonus to have her son with her. My cat Keebler gets lots of attention & playtime & I get great updates & photos.
Melissa is a kind & compassionate pet sitter who is extremely reliable & communicative. I could see from the daily notes & great photos that my cat was loving all the attention & extra playtime from Melissa & her charming son. I came home to a happy cat & house exactly as I had left it. She even re-set the clocks after a power outage. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Melissa was a very experienced, long-term pet lover and had a special fondness for cats. We could really tell because of the bond between Melissa and her family Spirit in the pictures. Spirit was spoiled with her favorite toys while we were away and I think we a new friend in our neighborhood to take care of our very active cat. Mary, David and Noah
Melissa K. is the kind of person who brings warmth and attentiveness to everything she does. She’s known for being deeply compassionate, reliable, and tuned in to the needs of both animals and people. She has been involved in the care of both my dogs and cats over a number of years. Her calm demeanor and thoughtful communication make her not just a safe choice, but someone who truly elevates the experience through kindness and care. Whether she’s handling a furry friend or a customer request, she seems to approach it all with heart and sincerity—definitely an awesome human being.
