Love fur babies

For me pets are like family members. My dogs are my children, so I understand that their safety and well-being is the most important thing. I am timely professional, and compassionate. I’ll be giving your furry loved one the time and attention they need while your away. Talks, walks, pets and snuggles included with every visit. I am used to dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am available for long or short visits and can help with overnight care if you need to go away. I have a tendency to bond with your pet so be sure you are looking for your child to have a new human friendship!! As a dog mommy I will help ensure your peace of mind while your away from your baby!

Melissa is such an amazing sitter. My cats are usually too shy to let anyone near them, but they both approached her during the walkthrough and were very social with her while we were away. She did an excellent job giving them both their medications, and an even better job soothing my anxious cat mommy nerves. Highly, highly recommend Melissa and will 100% rebook if we are fortunate enough to hire her again!

I am so grateful to have found Melissa! We just returned from a 12-day trip, which was made possible by Melissa. This is the second time we have worked with Melissa to care for our two cats; she is so warm and caring, I feel comfortable and confident leaving them in her care. She's a great communicator...she sends pictures and updates everyday and spends time petting and playing with the boys, who I can tell from the photos are in love with her! She also kept me up to date with little issues that cropped up at the house, and was willing to help out. If you're looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who truly cares about the pets she cares for (and their people), Melissa is a fantastic choice! Thanks again Melissa!!

Melissa went above and beyond. I had to leave the country abruptly for a family emergency, and she took amazing care of my pets and my home while I was away. She took great photos of my cats and really eased my stress about being away so I could focus on being with my family. Melissa came over to do a walkthrough before the job, followed all the instructions carefully, sent photos of all completed tasks, and was just so reassuring. Anyone can come and feed your animals, but not everyone gives the same type of peace of mind in doing so. Whether you're going on a pleasure cruise or traveling in an emergency, we all worry about our pets and home while we are away. Melissa really eased my anxiety and made everything so much easier on me during a really difficult time. I would recommend her to anyone without a moment's hesitation. Every report made me smile and laugh, and I really looked forward to reading them every day. Thank you again, Melissa!
