Walking to keep tails waggin

Pet care experience

Growing up all I wanted was a furry friend but due to my dads allergies it wasn’t an option. I found myself making hand made flyers in my neighborhood and soon I had my own little pet sitting/walking business. As an adult I enjoy walking or running with dogs and now I know about all the good spots in Philly to take dogs for some social time or private roads if other creatures aren’t their speed. I would be available to care for your loved one while you are away at work or on vacation! I can also water plants while you are away as well! I’ve cared for big, small, furry and bald...to me if it has four legs it’s a friend of mine.

Melissa was a great kitty sitter! I only needed cat care this time, but my dog also loved her when we met to hand off the keys. I will be looking to use her again in the future whenever I'm out of town and can't bring my cat or dog.

Melissa was the best cat sitter we've ever had! She sent us daily updates about how our kitty was doing, often including pictures. She really gave our kitty the attention she needed, whether it was playing or giving her cuddles, whichever our kitty was needing. Melissa will definitely be our go-to cat sitter from now on. Thank you Melissa! :)

Melissa was terrific, even better than we had hoped for. Initially, she responded to our request very quickly which gave us real piece of mind as this was an emergency situation and we might have had to cancel our family plans if we couldn't find a sitter. So her quick response was really appreciated. She was a very pleasant person at first meeting and very professional as well. She was very careful to ask if there were any habits Ella had that might appear strange but were just "Ella" things not to worry about. We've had our rescue dog three years now and she has never been with a non-family member. Melissa was the first. Inside of an hour or so Melissa sent a picture of Ella in her lap. It really made us feel good. We would not hesitate to use Melissa again and again, Thanks Melissa.
