Loving care when you’re not there!

Pet care experience

If your pup is looking for some tongue 👅hangin kinda fun, I'm your sitter!😉 I am Dog/Cat CPR certified and I can administer medication orally. I have 7 years of experience walking dogs professionally and doing overnight sits. I currently have 1 year old chihuahua/terrier, female. She'll bark at first but gets along with all dogs of all sizes. I know it can be tough to trust a stranger with a member of your family, but I can guarantee you peace of mind that your furbaby is in safe hands. Meet and greets is a must but I know when prepping for out of town events, time can be limited. I will provide you with a report card of potty breaks, anything out of the ordinary, and pictures of activities we do. I have a large backyard for your furbaby to run and play freely. It is gated! I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby soon!☺

Melissa was great with our dog Lenox, she sent regular updates and photos, and she followed our feeding and medication instructions to a tee. And when we picked him up he was nice and tired from multiple walks. I will definitely book her again!

Our dog Ruby had another great stay with Melissa. Great communication always makes us feel at ease when away. Thanks

Melissa has been wonderful. She is responsible and available when we need her. She treats our dog like her own and goes out of her way to make sure our dog is happy and well cared for. Can’t thank her enough for all she has done.
