Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Little Italy Pet Sitter
I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I intentionally limit the number of dogs that I board to 3 or less so that I can give each pet the attention he/she deserves. I pride myself on clear communication and I will keep you informed about your pet's care during our time together. I am willing to accommodate special feeding requests and other care details to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible while you are away. * We are aware of escape artists! We make sure to only enter and exit the home where there is a two-door barrier. * If your pup needs to be the only dog in my home during his/her boarding, I can accommodate such request for an additional $20 a night. (Schedule permitting.)

Ratings and reviews
I absolutely loved Melissa. I unfortunately had to book her very last minute after a misunderstanding with the hotel we were staying at. She was super quick to respond and she took great care of our baby while we were gone. Loved getting photos throughout her stay. Would definitely come back to her and highly recommend!
Melissa was very communicative and easy to work with! She sent lots of pictures of my happy dog while I was away. We will definitely be repeat clients of hers.
Melissa was very professional and took excellent care of Babe. She took her for walks and made sure she had ample opportunities to use the restroom. Her priority was that our baby was comfortable and well taken care of, thank you!
I have a very fragile old senior chihuahua mix and she was so well groomed too, she usually sheds quite a it but not anymore!
Melissa has the magic touch, my puppy felt right at home and was absolutely in love with her. They bonded right away and he was right at home. Thank you for loving him so much, Melissa. I could tell he was very well cared for ♥️

I am a graduate student and take classes online. Rest assured that your pet will not be left alone for long periods of time during his/her stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
* I do require a meet and greet before our first booking. It is important to me that I understand your pet's needs before I agree to sit him/her. *Please have a complete profile before contacting me. I should have an idea about your dog's behavior and health before setting up our meet and greet. * I am not able to board dogs that are aggressive to humans or other dogs. (I am not a dog trainer.). *Unfortunately, my current property management company has a breed restriction list. I personally love all dog breeds thus I am available to walk or house sit regardless of breed or size. * Dogs must be housebroken. * I can not take dogs that are prone to barking. (Out of respect to my neighbors.) * Your dog must be current with flea medications and vaccines. *Please alert me if your dog has any type of condition that could infect other dogs.
A typical day
There is a community dog park where I live. I live an active lifestyle. If your dog likes long walks, I could be a great match for him or her.
