I love all furry friends!

Pet care experience

I have cared for pets for over 10 years and will absolutely love spoiling your fur babies and making them feel at home when you are away. I also have experience with separation anxiety and those who need extra love and cuddles! I love being active, going on walks, to dog parks, or playing fetch! If you can't find the time or are away, I can provide the physical activity that your pet needs!

AJ had the best time! Melissa was friendly, great to work with, had a great set up for dog sitting, and provided AJ with excellent care. Gave her lots of attention, exercise, and snuggles. Will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend.

Found Melissa while making last minute changes for a Business trip that forced me to bring my dog along for the ride unexpectedly. Not only was she able to take the job on short notice, but she went above and beyond for him. Picked him up daily from my hotel and drove him to the park while I was busy in meetings that lasted most of the day. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing to make arrangements for their pets and can't thank her enough for all she did.

Melissa is always kind, gentle, and caring when it comes to my pets. She is responsible and always on time. I always know my pets will be comfortable and safe when in her care.

Melissa goes above and beyond for our dog Minnie. I have tried other sitters and hotels in the past but none have made me feel as comfortable as her, I don’t want my pet locked in a cage or ignored. Minnie is a teacup yorkie and she is pretty high maintenance, she wants a lap to sit on and someone to give her love - I know Melissa gives her the attention she needs when we are away. She gives her the correct food, takes her on walks, makes sure she is snuggled up if it’s cold out and treats her just like she treats her own dog.
