Safety, trust & environment
I have a completely fenced in yard that was built specifically for dogs as I also foster them from time to time as well and care for my neighbors dogs. I never have any animal out of my sight, I am always hyper aware of my surroundings.
Ratings and reviews
Melissa is a friendly and communicative sitter. She put us at ease as soon as we met her, telling us about her own pets. Our cat took to her right away, which is all we needed to feel comfortable with leaving her in Melissa's care. We loved getting the picture updates and are happy with the experience we had with Rover and Melissa!
MELISSA IS FANTASTIC. So loving and caring to our kitties and always checked in with me. Made me feel very comfortable leaving our babies alone
Lincoln loved Melissa! She’s timely, has great communication and excellent with my dog! Thank you 🙏
Melissa is fantastic! My dog, Kaycee, fell in love with her immediately. She replies to messages quickly and is very loving toward Kaycee. She was also very understanding and flexible when my schedule changed, which I appreciate. Kaycee can't wait for her next walk with Melissa!
What can I NOT say about this woman...we have been neighbors in the LA area for over 6 years and she has thoughtfully cared for my Jack Russell time and time again as work takes me away from home quite often. I come back to find my pup Elliott happy, healthy and usually have to bribe him with treats to get him to leave her place. She walks him several times a day and he has become best friends with all of our neighborhood dogs, something I, myself, had a hard time achieving. When she says she is quick on her feet she is not kidding. Several years ago we went to the dog park together...her own pup Booger was stung by a bee and had a severe reaction. She immediately sprung into action and all ended well. I saw her calm demeanor in a high stress situation so I can truly attest to this girls resourcefulness and skills. She is the real deal. Grab her before she books up!
If you are looking for a dog sitter STOP right here and pick Melissa!! Your dogs will love her as much as she loves them! Melissa will tell you she loves all animals but dogs hold a special place in her heart. Ask her about Booger her pug/boston terrier sweetheart. Melissa will give your dogs the tender loving care, attention & time when she is with them. You will be happy that you picked her and so will your dogs!
