Pet care experience

Recommended by 10/10 dogs.

I’ve had dogs my entire life and plenty of personal experience with watching family dogs. Beginning in 2020, I became a dog foster and have taken care of several different types of dogs while they awaited their forever home. From an Alaskan Malamute to a Chihuahua, a 3 month old puppy to an old lady and a lazy bulldog to the most active Australian Shepherd — I am experienced with all different personalities & lifestyles!

Melissa did wonderful with our fur baby! She took her for walks and was lovely with her. Thank you so much Melissa. We will definitely contact you next time we need a sitter. :)

Melissa was wonderful with our nervous little chihuahua! She is always getting tummy issues when we are away from us but not with Melissa. She was happy, calm, and content. Melissa was a great communicator too! We highly recommend her & will plan on using her services in the future!

Melissa is the sweetest! She made Lily (my pup) feel so comfortable and did a great job walking her and following all of her care steps. I would 10/10 recommend!!!!

Melissa was INCREDIBLE to my boys. She helped my elderly mother fill their water tank/bowl, cleaned their eyes daily and went above and beyond. My mother even told me the boys were very excited to see her every time she came-and they arent excitable boys. 10/10, would recommend/will use again!

Melissa was wonderful and took great care of our Miles. She kept in touch with us and sent pics to show the fun they were having. There was never a worry and we would have her watch him again in a heartbeat.
