Pet care experience

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

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!
