Pet care experience

Animal Lover & Experienced Sitter

From early childhood to the present, I have raised and cared for many dogs and cats. I absolutely love long walks with pups, playing fetch at the dog park, and giving lots of ear scratches! I have raised Spaniels, German Shepherds, Pitbulls, Labrador Retrievers, so I am comfortable working with most pet breeds, especially larger dogs. I am an active person, so I look forward to taking your dog on long walks in the afternoon and evenings or indulging your pup's "zoomies" by playing tug-of-war or catch in the backyard.

Melissa was so sweet and went above & beyond taking care of my cat. She shared great photos and drop-in notes too :)

Melissa took amazing care of my two cats during drop in visits. She was reliable, thorough, and very communicative. I would absolutely book her again!

Melissa took good care of my cat and shared pictures and detailed notes every day. I don't like leaving my cat alone and it was reassuring to hear that she was doing well when I was gone. I would be happy to hire Melissa again.

Melissa has been walking Henry for months.Melissa always sends me detailed reports on their time spent together including what they did and his mood.I have reached out to Melissa last minute and she will accommodate if she can.I have even had to cancel last minute and she was very understanding.As a fur mama I don’t need to worry about Henry during his time spent with Melissa.Added bonus she captures his personality in all her photos.
