Pet care experience

I will treat your pet as my own!

I believe that dogs and cats are like family and should be loved and cared for and treated like they are your own. Long walks, cuddling nurturing and loving them! I also believe that they should be allowed on the furniture and the bed and always spoiled! When I am caring for your dog or cat you won't ever have to worry about their care. They will always have my full attention and followed by any routine that you have for them. My dogs through out life have always been loved and treated like part of the family. I hope to be able to take care of your dogs and cats and treat them like kings and queens! You will receive a sweet note of care and love! Treats always! Thanks!

When I met Melissa I knew my cats would be in good hands. She immediately played with and petted my interested cat when they first met. During her drop ins Melissa was prompt, completed all of the care tasks, and sent us updates with pictures of play time. I would highly recommend Melissa as a cat sitter.

Melissa was great! She came on the day’s we spoke about and was able to give our cat the much needed attention he needed while we were away! She was comfortable with a “moody” kitty and was happy to help out. Melissa was professional on our meet and greet zoom and was knowledgeable about taking care of cats like ours (not always friendly). I highly recommend her!

My husband and I live busy work lives and we planned a last minute trip over Christmas. Thankfully, Melissa was able to stop by and care for our aging kitties. We got almost daily updates with photos, leaving us with a peace of mind. Will book again should the need arise.

Melissa was great and immediately bonded with Scarlet at our first meeting. Will definitely be contacting her again when the need arrives.
