I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my cat, Tyler, when I go on vacation. Melissa has watched him on two occasions now. The first time was for 4 days, and the second was for 10! I couldn't have gone on my second trip if I didn't have such a reliable sitter so I am very thankful. She came to my home everyday while I was away to refresh Tyler's food and water, clean his litter, and play with him! She is super caring and attentive to his needs. I have a home camera that I use to check in on Tyler when I'm not around, and I was so pleased to see Melissa taking the time to show Tyler love when she was at the house. Unlike other sitters, she does not just fill the bowls and leave. She sits with Tyler, pets him, brushes him, refills his catnip toys, turns on the tap (on my request!) so he can play in the water, and so on. She even replaced the batteries in his laser pointer! She treats Tyler like her own pet. Knowing my son was in loving and capable hands allowed me to go on vacation with peace of mind :) Thank you, Melissa!
