Highlights
Pet care experience
pets > people
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.

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.
Ratings and 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.
Melissa is a wonderful dog-sitter. She looked after our mini poodle Gus while we were out for several hours. Smooth, on-time, professional and pleasant all the way. Recommend her highly.
Melissa was amazing with all four of our family dogs. She came into the chaos of our family with ease and took it on with the most competence and grace. We will definitely be using Melissa again when we are in town next! We are beyond appreciative for her stepping up and taking such amazing care of our dogs. Thank you Melissa!
