Melissa was absolutely wonderful with Louie! She was on time, respectful, attentive, and took such great care of him. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and Louie loved her! I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We love Melissa! Our dog is older with health issues and needs special care, and Melissa followed all instructions while keeping us updated and treating our pup with empathy and compassion. She is also a great communicator and has attention to detail.

Melissa was a LIFE SAVER this past week when my scheduled sitter had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency. This was a tough situation because my little guy had recently lost his big sister and I was worried about him having stay with someone without her for the first time. After a quick meet and greet he seemed very comfortable with Melissa and I can say after picking him up, he was happy as a clam! To say I was relieved is an understatement!!! I cannot recommend Melissa enough!!!!

Melissa was really sweet and Loki felt very comfortable with her! She sent us updates throughout the stay too. Pick up and drop off was really easy!

Safety, trust & environment

I have veterinary experience from working at an animal hospital, which has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I am detailed oriented and thrive on following directions precisely to ensure the best possible care for your furry friends.

A typical day

I love being outdoors especially when I have a four legged friend to accompany me. Together we will explore the park and make sure they get all the exercise and fresh air that they need.
