Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Melissa has a great set up for cats. Their own room for them to feel safe but the option to come out and explore when they are ready. She was great at providing updates and pictures on how our cat was doing which was great since it was our first time boarding her. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off.

I was so nervous looking for a sitter to board my baby Apollo (cat), but taking to Melissa and actually meeting her made me feel so much better about this decision. Not only did she reassure me everyday Apollo was adjusting and having fun, she also sent pictures everyday! I will definitely be rebooking with Melissa in the near future. 😊

Melissa was fantastic with our two nervous kitties! She took time to ask about their food and litter preferences and needs and make sure they were both comfortable and happy in her home! It was a fantastic, stress-free experience. We appreciated the pictures and updates! We’ll definitely be booking with Melissa again the next time we go out of town.


Leaving my cat with a sitter for the first time was definitely a little nerve-wracking—I wasn’t sure what to expect. After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to go with Melissa, and I’m so glad I did. The first day I was still a bit unsure, but Melissa quickly put my mind at ease with consistent updates and photos. Seeing my cat comfortable and well cared for made all the difference. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. By the end of the stay, I felt completely confident and very satisfied with her service. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Great sitter! I was worried about leaving my cat for 2 weeks but from the start, I felt reassured by Melissa and the room she had setup for my kitty. She also has a cat and dog and they are very sweet. I would happily book again with her in the future!

Melissa was an absolute delight. She took excellent care of our cat while we were away on vacation, providing us with immense peace of mind. She would send us daily updates and pictures, ensuring we were always informed about our cat’s well-being. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone seeking reliable pet care while they’re away. Her house was warm, clean, and she had everything necessary to take care of my cat.

Schedule
I work from home, so your pet will be fully supervised during work hours. Our home is peaceful and quiet, no small children. My own pets are calm and friendly.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My small senior dog and my own cat are friendly, but I do have a spare bedroom available if your pet would prefer privacy and their own space. I understand that cats can be nervous in new places, they will have plenty of safe hiding spots until they become more comfortable to the new environment.
Pets
A typical day
I have cat toys if they are feeling playful, I also love to brush them if they enjoy that as much as my cat does.
