Highlights
Pet care experience
Hello!
I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I also have experience with reptiles and rodents too! I have watched my friend’s and family’s for years when they go out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m really good at following directions so whatever you instruct me to do with your pet(s) I will do accordingly. I’m a very neat person and will try my best to leave your house as it was when you left.
Ratings and reviews
We had Melissa house-sit our three dogs for six days this month — a Lab, a Mini Poodle, and a Chihuahua. Melissa truly knows how to handle dogs. Our Lab can be a little stubborn and doesn’t respond well to someone who is too soft-spoken, but Melissa knew exactly how to be firm and confident, so she would listen and obey. While we were away, our Lab ate something she shouldn’t have, which created a bit of an emergency. Melissa handled it calmly and responsibly by immediately contacting the emergency vet and us. Following our instructions, she administered hydrogen peroxide to safely induce vomiting and help our Lab recover. Melissa is kind, dependable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She also has nearby family support available if she ever needs assistance, which gives us additional peace of mind. We are extremely picky about who we trust with our pets because they do not do well in unfamiliar environments. We felt very comfortable having Melissa stay in our home and care for our dogs because we know she is responsible, loving, and capable of handling even stressful situations. We highly recommend Melissa and would absolutely hire her again if we ever need a sitter.
Wonderful sitter. Melissa communicated with us the whole time and sent pictures of the pets to show us they were being loved the whole time
Melissa is AMAZING!!!!! My pets loved her. She went above and beyond. I will 1000% be booking her again. HIGHLY recommended!
Melissa P. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Melissa was a great dog sitter for a stay in my home: she clearly communicated her schedule ahead of time, listened to their food & care instructions, and sent me photos and updates while we were gone. I have two adult dogs, one of which is blind and deaf and needs special assistance getting in and out of the house. When we returned, our house looked great and the dogs were happy. My family will definitely use her again!
Melissa was amazing!! Extremely communicative, flexible to our needs, and super reliable! Our animals (2 dogs and 1 cat) loved her, and when we got back from our trip, the house was just as clean as when we left. Would definitely book again and recommend Melissa’s services.

Schedule
I recently relocated to Alabama and am excited to meet local pets and families. I cannot board pets in my home at this time, but I'm happy to do overnight house sitting, drop ins, and walks to keep pets comfortable in their own home.
