Availability
Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I regularly care for a multi-pet household with ten cats and a dog, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and routines. I organize my day to ensure every pet receives consistent, reliable care and attention.

Safety, trust & environment
Just so you know, I’m also fully insured!! I don’t offer pet care in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your furry friend in the comfort of their own environment. I find pets are often happiest and most relaxed when surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they’re used to. When I’m in your home, I make sure to follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or keeping up with litter boxes. I’ll also provide plenty of love, attention, and cuddles so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet an stress-free, happy experience.
Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet
It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any quirks or preferences. I also like to learn about house rules and favorite activities so I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
A typical day
I love keeping pets engaged and happy! Depending on your pet’s personality, that could mean playtime with their favorite toys, interactive games like feather wands or laser pointers for cats, or walks, fetch, and tug-of-war for dogs. I also enjoy giving plenty of cuddles, brushing, or quiet companionship if your pet prefers a calmer pace. My goal is to match the activities to what makes your furry friend happiest, so they feel loved, entertained, and cared for while you’re away.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart as a sitter is my lifelong dedication to animals and hands-on experience in many different settings. I started volunteering at an animal shelter when I was just 15, which gave me early experience in handling pets of all temperaments and needs. For the past three years, I’ve worked in animal hospitals, where I gained valuable skills in pet care, observation, and safety. One of my proudest experiences was raising a neonatal kitten, Binx, from just one day old—he’s now a happy, healthy two-year-old and my best friend. Beyond professional care, I’m also the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to trimming cats’ and dogs’ nails, so I can help with grooming needs too. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—your furry family member will always be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention and cuddles while in my care.

Reviews
She arrived perfectly on time and spent time with our girl Lucy even when Lucy was hesitant and shy! She was available on short notice and really helped us out. Provides lots of pictures and updates and extra long visits. We will be a returning customer!
We’re so grateful for the amazing care you gave Otis this week while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you for all the updates, attention, and love you showed him it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate your reliability, kindness, and care for Otis like he was your own. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you again for everything!
Melissa M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Melissa took such good care of our husky and definitely spoiled her! I know she loved all the walks and cuddles.
