Certified pet lover

I have grown up with pets galore and I am a huge lover of all animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies behind, but I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable until you return! I love to be outdoors, so if your dog enjoys hikes or swimming I would love to take them with me. My pup, Cricket, would also love a friend to play with!

House Sitting • Sep 04, 2023

Melissa was wonderful!! She took such great care of our dogs while we were gone. We felt very comfortable having her in our home. We had a bad experience with a previous dog sitter, but she gave us hope that there are good people out there that will take excellent care of your pets/home while you’re away. Our house was also immaculate when we got home too and she sent pictures and updates a lot, which we loved! We will definitely be using here again!

Melissa was kind enough to take a last minute booking as I had to leave for the weekend! Had no worries whatsoever and she even sent over some cute videos of Toothless :)

Melissa took great care of Autumn! She came into my home to check on her while I was out and it was so great to come home to a happy pup. Thank you!
