Reliable and Passionate Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I specialize in large and giant dog care however, I have extensive experience in pet care of all types, ages and sizes. I simply love all animals and strive to give pet owners a peace of mind that their pet and their home are well taken care of while they are away. Being a homeowner and pet caretaker myself, I empathized with the stresses of finding reliable and trustworthy people to help when needed. I would be honored to be that person for you.

Melissa was great! Easy to connect with, available and friendly, sent pics and reports on pets daily. She had a good attention to the details, which is appreciated when we are traveling. Highly recommend her.

Melissa took fantastic care of our house and pets while we were out of town for a week, and kept in touch thru the week with pics and updates. We'll look to book her again in the future for sure, and definitely recommend her.

Melissa was incredible. My dog has severe separation anxiety and can not be left alone. She listened to all of my concerns and stayed with him the entire time. He warmed up to her so quick and was completely comfortable (which is extremely rare). She helped make my vacation so stress free because when my dog is ok, I’m ok.

I am a reliable and attentive person when it comes to pet care and housesitting. Your home and pet will be well taken care of, as I will treat both as if they were my own. If your pet has specific needs, like medications, walk schedules, mobility restrictions I am happy to help and will be honest about my ability to provide them.

Information Melissa M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your pet’s habits are while on walks and at home. For dogs, do they pull on a leash or react to other dogs, sounds or people? If your pet were to slip past me at an open door, do they have good recall? If there is any training that you are working on that I can continue to reinforce, please let me know.

A typical day

Long walks, fetch or play time at a dog park or just quality cuddle time, whatever your pet needs, I am happy to provide it.
