Pet care experience
Animals are the love of my life <3
Hello! 😊 My name is Melissa, and I’m based in Santa Clarita, though I’m happy to commute to meet my clients’ pet care needs. I’m an experienced and dedicated pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending quality time with animals and providing attentive, reliable care. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life ❤️ and currently have three pets of my own: my poodle mix, Sophie; my cat, Binx; and my Husky/Pomeranian mix, Ocean. They are a huge part of my world, and caring for them has given me a deep understanding of the love, patience, and attention that pets deserve. I am fully available and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, outdoor adventures, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I also provide regular photo and message updates, so you can have peace of mind and stay connected with your furry family members while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet's specific needs. Thank you, Melissa

Ratings and reviews
Melissa is wonderful! Our pup Romeo loves going to stay with her and is excited every time we drop him off. Melissa provides lots of text and picture updates and is great to work with figuring out pick up and drop off times. Highly recommend Melissa!
Romeo loves to stay with Melissa and has the best time! Melissa provides pictures multiple times a day and takes great care of our pup, he loves his stays!
Melissa was so sweet to my little puppy. I got constant updates with pictures which made me feel very secure and content that my love was safe and happy.
Our dog had a great time with Melissa! He loved playing with her pups and Melissa provided lots of photos and updates. Melissa was also very responsive anytime I reached out!
Melissa is the absolute best. She was extremely responsive sent pictures throughout Loki's stay. I let her know about some issues we had experienced in the past with Rover and she was very empathetic and assured me that my fur baby was in good hands. Loki had a blast, came home and went straight to sleep which is a rare occurrence for our hyper girl, she was so tired from all the fun she had. Melissa has watched Loki many times since and we will continue to use her as Loki's sitter. Thank you Melissa!
Melissa was great from the beginning to end of Marble’s stay. The pictures that she sent me were very comforting and I’d definitely use her again to take care of Marble. Thanks Melissa!
