Melissa did a great job for all my fur babies. I felt very comfortable leaving my precious pups in her care. I definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs. I will use her again when the need comes up.

Melissa has owned pets her entire life- she tells me stories of rescuing stray cats as a young child and finding them good homes. I bring this up because she continued this into her adult life and has owned, personally, a vast majority of pets including a lot of cats and dogs. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about training and general care taking of an animal. Apart from having plenty of space in her heart to love any dog or cat, she always helps friends and family with their pets as well when they need dog sitting or help in any way. She’s incredibly reliable and professional, and fully understands what it means to take on the responsibility of taking care of another persons pets.
