I'm currently not working, only volunteer. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. We’ll enjoy walks or playtime to keep them engaged. Plenty of affection and relaxation when they need it. I aim to keep their day fun, enriching, and stress-free.

Reviews
Melissa was wonderful with our pets! She was incredibly attentive and makes sure every need was met. We really appreciated receiving regular updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Melissa not only loves animals, but she understands them. She is gentle, compassionate, responsible, and caring. She has cats, and she volunteers at a cat shelter. She delights in all kinds of dogs. I have seen her concern and care first hand.
Melissa is a friend and neighbor. She is eager to get down on the floor and engage with my two cats. When first meeting them she asked me questions about how they prefer to be approached and, going forward, has interacted with them, remembering what they like and don't like. I like how she talks to them in a caring kind way. I'm confident she will approach animals she is charged to care for in a like manner.
Melissa is a fantastic pet caregiver!! I've known her for over 10 years, and she is always so caring and kind around my cats - even sitting and brushing them when she stops by for non-pet sitting visits! If you want peace of mind while you're away, knowing that your pets are in great hands, I'd recommend Melissa 100% (and so would my cats!!)
