Highlights
Pet care experience
Will work for puppy kisses!
I grew up caring for dogs - small, medium and large, old and young - and have never lived without one! To me, a pup is an extension of the family and I love being able to take care of a wide variety of dogs. I do have one pup right now, who absolutely adores other dogs and is very friendly, cuddly and playful. I work from home so I'm available to pay attention to your pup all day long. After work, I typically take my pup for a long walk or to the dog park. On weekends I like to hike and would love to bring your dog along on my adventures! I have experience with puppies, senior pups and dogs with special needs/medications/allergies, etc so your pup will be comfortable and well taken care of with me!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa was so great! We recently adopted our dog and needed pet sitting for the weekend of July 4th. She was very accommodating and adaptable to changing needs and the unknown of how our dog would respond to fireworks. She sent us very comforting updates and pictures. We were so grateful to know our girl was in such great hands and really appreciated her expertise.

Melissa is a fantastic sitter! She takes wonderful care of Juno and is extremely communicative. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter

Melissa M. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Melissa was awesome with Lola! The pictures and updates made me feel at ease and I could tell how much love and snuggles Lola was getting. Thanks so much!

Henry Dog always lives his best life when he stays with Melissa!

Melissa was great! She took wonderful care of Juno and provided regular updates to ease my mind. I would totally recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter.

- Does your pup chew or bark? Are they potty trained? How are they around other dogs? Do they enjoy long walks or runs or maybe prefer the dog park?
