Walks & Care You Can Count On

I am just starting out pet sitting but I have had lots of experience with my own pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a teenager and have many years of experience caring for them. New kitty mom and my kids have a corn snake 😬 Although I don’t currently have dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I’m offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive to details, and happy to follow any instructions you leave so your pet receives the same care they’re used to.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own home and stick to their usual routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away. I also respect your home by keeping it clean and secure, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and sending regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Melissa is full of love and your dogs will absolutely enjoy their time with her! She is the most caring and protective woman on the earth. Rest assured your fur babies will be taken care of. She also has 2 wonderful dogs of her own that are very playful and enjoy sleepovers.

Schedule

I work at a school so I can stop by after work and later in the evening if needed. Weekends are more flexible. Walks and activities fit well in my schedule as I love to stay active myself!

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys and activities, any medical conditions, allergies, fears or anxieties, and how they interact with other people and animals. Please let me know any commands they know, any behaviors to watch for, and what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I also appreciate knowing your veterinarian’s contact information, emergency contacts, and any house instructions related to your pet’s care. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, stress-free experience that feels familiar for your pet.
