About Melissa P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pet with special attention, love, and patience. Whatever instructions and routines you’ve set up, I’ll follow closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m always respectful of your home, space, and furry family members, and I take care to balance pets’ natural curiosity for exploring with a cautious eye on their safety. My own cats live like kings. I know all their favorite games, quirks, and interests, and I even leave music playing for them when I’m out. They’re my babies, and I bring that same level of care and devotion to every pet I look after. I take this responsibility seriously and want you to feel fully assured that your pet is in good hands with me.
Information Melissa P. would like to know about your pet
Whatever you feel I should know! Whether it’s the basics or going into specific details. For instance: energy level what is typical or atypical behavior are they on any special medicine? &/ or do they have any medical conditions? do they have any allergies? are they okay around children? do they like to play with other dogs? favorite treats, toys, games, and places.
A typical day
I will ask questions to find out what kind of energy your dog has to determine what kind of day is appropriate. Every pet is different so it's important for me to know what I should expect / what is typical & desired for your pup. For higher energy dogs, we can go for extended walks 45mins+. If more relaxed, we can go for a stroll or just sit outside in the park! A typical day of dog sitting will be mostly go with the flow & have fun.

Pet care experience
Animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently have two cats and grew up with a dog, so I know how much love and care pets bring into a home. I treat every pet like family and enjoy learning their unique quirks and personalities. I have experience with a wide range of pets, including different breeds, temperaments, special needs cats and dogs, blind pets, energetic puppies, and older companions. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Reviews
This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and my experience was absolutely wonderful. Melissa took very good care of my cats when I was away, especially my diabetic baby who I was most concerned about. She followed the instructions I gave her and kept me updated along the way. She was very attentive. I truly appreciate her. I will definitely book her again.
Melissa was wonderful with our new puppy Goldie! Super communicative, engaging and kind and was excellent about following my suggestions for how to keep up with our new routines. Goldie had a great time.
Melissa is great. Very responsive and reliable.
Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter for our neurotic dog for a week. It was our first time leaving her with non-family, so we were nervous. She came over for a meet and greet in advance. She took everything at our dog’s pace, sent lots of photos and updates, and left the house spotless. We will definitely use her again next time we travel.
