Ratings and reviews
Melissa was a life saver. She took our request at the last minute, was accommodating and treated them with love and care. Enjoyed the pictures she took so much that I am going to frame them! Overall I would give her 10 stars 🌟 if I could.
Melissa was a great house and pet sitter! She kept in constant contact and sent me pictures. I would definitely use her again! I highly recommend Melissa to everyone!
Melissa was prompt from from first request and continued to be in touch with me. Prior to each walk she updated me on her arrival. She was quite friendly with my dog and continued to show her love of animals by being aware of my dog characteristics. In the future when I need service my request will be with a Melissa.
Melissa was everything and more we could ask for when caring for our fur babies. Melissa was prompt to answer our inquiry and was on time to our meet and greet. Immediately our pup feel in love with her calm loving demeanor and I was instantly relieved knowing our animals would be in the best care. Melissa regularly messaged us with thorough details of how things were going and pictures of our animals. It was such a great feeling knowing that our pup was in great hands! I'm pretty sure our dog is feeling a bit disappointed at our arrival home because Melissa gave him so much love and attention and trips to the park. Over and over, Melissa showed her professionalism and went over and beyond when it came to the care of our animals. I wouldn't consider anyone else in the future when we need someone for our fur babies!
My wife and I travel often and when we do we always have Melissa over to watch our dog and our two cats. She has always been very reliable and trustworthy. All we ask her to do is feed them, but she always goes above and beyond and walks our dog, stays over and give them attention, and even sends us pictures which warms my heart. We even have doggie play dates with her fur babies as well!! I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a dog sitter and I do often! Thank you, Danielle G.
I've known Melissa for a little over 4 yrs. She not only loves dogs , she loves all animals. She is very kind and compassionate I trust her completely with my dogs , they love her. Her dogs are some of the happiest I have ever known. They are loving and playful , because she is great with them. She treats others animals as if they're her own .
Calendar and availability
Schedule
How Pet Care Fits Into My Daily Routine Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I care for four dogs of my own, so my day naturally revolves around consistent schedules, walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of affection. Because of this, adding your dog into my routine feels seamless—not like an obligation, but like welcoming another family member. My schedule is flexible and dog-centered, which allows me to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my time around the dogs in my care to make sure they’re never rushed, overlooked, or left alone longer than they should be. I’m very attentive to individual needs—whether that means administering medication, supporting a senior or special-needs dog, burning energy with an active pup, or simply offering calm reassurance and cuddles. Safety, consistency, and emotional well-being are always priorities. Because caring for dogs is part of my everyday rhythm, your dog will receive consistent attention, structure, and unconditional love—the same level of care I give my own. 🐾💙
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my priority is to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs or preferences your pet has. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. During each visit, I make sure your pet receives not only the required care, but also genuine companionship, affection, and attention—never rushed and never impersonal. I’m very observant and attentive to behavior changes, appetite, or energy levels, especially for senior or special-needs pets. I provide walks, playtime, enrichment, and calm reassurance based on your pet’s personality and needs. I also believe communication is essential. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like the prince or princess they truly are, and your home will be left clean, secure, and exactly as you expect. 🐾💙

A typical day
A Typical Day With Me A day with me is all about love, structure, and making your dog feel safe and happy. We start the day with morning potty breaks, fresh water, and breakfast (following your dog’s exact routine). Mornings usually include a walk or playtime to get some energy out and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment—whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs and energy level, including senior dogs or those with special needs who may require extra care or medication. Midday includes more outdoor time, potty breaks, and mental stimulation. I love engaging with dogs through play, gentle training reinforcement, or simply being present with them so they never feel alone. Evenings are calm and comforting, with dinner served on schedule, another walk or play session, and lots of affection. I wind the day down by creating a peaceful environment so your dog can relax, feel secure, and sleep comfortably. Most importantly, your dog is treated like family—with unconditional love, patience, and respect. You’ll also receive updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your prince or princess is happy and well cared for. 🐾💙
