Pet care experience
I have a background in childcare and nursing as well as a big heart for animals! 18 years of experience as a dog mom and 3 years as a cat mom 💛 I have cared for a variety of pets professionally and for friends/family over the years with great success and joy. I am knowledgeable, patient, and love to help train puppies! I totally understand the stress of being away from your baby. You can feel confident that all is well because I’ll be there 🙂
Reviews
I can't say enough good/positive about Melissa. She recently house/cat sat for us for 10 days. Her daily (sometimes 2 🥰) updates with pics were so comforting while we were away (and even with a 9 hour tike difference). Our cats (3 total) are very spoiled & are used to us being home all the time. It was comforting jnowing that she spent most of her time here with them vs other pet siters that just come long enough to feed and leave. We have one cat that is extremely shy/scared of everyone except us & Melissa demonstrated that she understands animals & how best to interact with our sweet but shy girl. She left the house in pristine condition. Laundered the towels & bedding & even remade the bed. Absolutely appreciated! I have a lot (a lot) of houseplants and had my garden veggie plants started & in my grow tent and she took exceptional care of them all. I will definitely hire Melissa again often & as much as she is available for any future trips. Hands down 💯! Thank you again Melissa!
Melissa was great with our dog, who is a big loud guy that can get nervous with strangers.
Melissa was super sweet and thoughtful with her time with my Moose. I couldn’t be happier!
Melissa is an incredible pet sitter! I was so anxious about leaving my dog for the day, as she had recently had some injuries and I needed someone who would be willing to give her medication and approach her with a lot of gentleness and care. Melissa eased my mind while I was gone, and I will absolutely be asking her back when I need someone to come hang out with Dolly!

Availability
I’ve got quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule as I work part time/remotely. Dog walking or drop in visits 1-3x a day is great for my schedule and I can usually accommodate other times as well!
