I would 100% recommend Melissa as a pet sitter, dog walker and house sitter! She has been my pet sitter for four years now. When we go out of town on vacations, I do not worry about my fur babies one bit! I know that they are in excellent hands! I completely trusted her with the care of my two fur babies (yorkie and border collie) and outside cat. Melissa is not only honest, reliable, flexible, and available at short notice or emergency situations, she also showed enormous love and compassion for my pets. Often taking the time to sit and love them after a long walk in the neighborhood or to the dog park! My dogs love Melissa, and she treats them like her own. If I have to go out of town, Melissa also stays at my home and house sits! Her rates are very reasonable for the services she renders. I have complete trust in her being in my home and having access to my house key. Melissa always does exactly what was asked of her and showed interest and knowledge in my pets, alerting me to potential medical or behavioral problems. My dogs needed the comfort of their own home and became very stressed in any kennel situation. Melissa relieved this stress on me and and for them by providing exceptional service at an affordable rate. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me or call me. I would love to be a reference for Melissa, as I trust her 100% with my pets and home!
