Pet care experience

Dog lover, Homeschool mom, Reliable

Exclusive dog sitter for the Riverwood community. I've always loved dogs and currently have a golden retriever and a lab. As a homeschool mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time caring for pets. I also babysit, so I carefully choose bookings that are a good fit for my family and yours. My priority is making sure both children and pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm happy to provide drop-ins, walks, and care in your home.

Safety, trust & environment

I take dogs on walks, play with them inside and outside, belly rubs and back scratching (if they like that), and companionship. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and follow each pet's routine and needs.

Finding someone you trust with your dog is priceless, and I couldn’t recommend Melissa more. She has cared for my dog, Nike, with so much love and attention that I never have to worry when ahe’s in her care. She’s incredibly reliable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to go the extra mile when plans change. It’s clear that she genuinely loves Nike as if she were one of her own, and that kind of care is something you can’t put a price on. Knowing Nike is safe, happy, and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have Melissa!

Melissa provided excellent care to our fur babies. She is dependable, caring, and professional. Our dogs can be a bit standoffish at first, and she was able to get them to warm up to her quickly. If you’re looking for someone you can rely on who will treat your pets like family, I hands down recommend Melissa!

Melissa is wonderful with our three dogs! Great communication and updates whenever she is sitting for us. Your pups will be in great hands with her. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sitter or walker for your pups!

Schedule

My schedule is structured around homeschooling, activities, and caring for my own dogs. I'm home during the day and able to provide attention, care, and companionship. Weeknights can be busier with activities, while weekends tend to offer more flexibility. I carefully choose bookings that fit our routine so I can provide the best care possible.
