I love pets in all shapes and sizes
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a pre-med student at the University of California Irvine. I love all animals, and have grown up with and cared for pets my whole life including cats, dogs, lizards, fish, rats, and hamsters. I love animals and would have my own pet if I could! I know how difficult it can be to find the time to travel with your fur baby, so I would be happy to take care of your pets and show them all the love they’ll need while your away. I have been a very active person since I was young, and am ready to run, walk, jump, and play with your beloved pet!

Once again, Melissa did an incredible job with our pups!!! I had to go to the emergency room and was there for 6 days unexpectedly and she was able to help us at super short notice. It was a huge relief for my husband and I to not have to worry about our 2 pups while we dealt with my health issues. She even picked them up and dropped them off to make it extra convenient and was able to pick up dog food at target too. I don’t know what I would have done without her help. Thanks again Melissa, I appreciate everything you do!!!
Melissa is a first rate dog sitter. She took extremely good care of my dog while I was away overseas. She checked in twice a day, with photos and let me know how my dog was doing. I will not hesitate to use Melissa again when I have to be away.
Melissa was the BEST sitter we could of ever asked for. She took great care of our two pups, one senior dog and one puppy, sending us updates every morning and evening. My puppy is a very shy dog and I was so shocked to see her on Melissa’s lap like old buddies when we picked them up after 5 days. She even sent us home with a sweet card and treats for the dogs. I will be going to Melissa for all of my doggy sitter needs !!
Melissa took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town! I had to leave her for longer than I ever have before and was worried about her separation anxiety, but she was perfectly happy with Melissa and had a great time with her. Melissa is super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know how everything was going each day, so I didn’t have any worries at all. I can tell my dog was super comfortable with Melissa and even a little sad to leave her. I’ll absolutely book Melissa as a sitter again in the future and I know my dog will be excited to stay with her again (:

Home
Information Melissa N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs during their stay with me including but not limited to: oral medication, daily coat brushing, and fears they may have (vacuums, loud noises, bikes, etc). I want to make sure they’re as comfortable, healthy, and happy as they can be during their stay with me.
A typical day
I have plenty of time to throw a ball, toy, or stick around for your friendly pups. I can use toys you provide for your pet and can stimulate them however you typically do at home. I also have dog toys of my own to make sure your pet gets all the love, play, and stimulation they need.
