Your dog's needs always come first

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting and pet sitting for about nine years and understand each pet has their own preferences and characteristics. I accommodate every pet’s eating, sleeping, restroom, and walking habits. Your pet’s needs and safety come first with me and my goal is to keep them happy and secure. I have worked with small, large, shy, and energetic dogs, dogs who have anxiety/separation problems, and newly adapting dogs fresh out of the shelter. Changes in my schedule may come up depending on the week, however, my availability is generally weekdays throughout the day and weekends. I also have experience with cats, reptiles, and small animals such as guinea pigs and bunnies, and I am happy to accommodate other pets in the home. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me!

We hardly leave our anxious dog with anyone outside of family. Melissa was the best sitter I could of imagined. She has a very calm presence about her. Dog was very well taken care for, regular reports given. Easy to communicate. Highly recommend her.

Communicative, and on time! Took good pictures of Dax and left a good recap of their walk. Would recommend as a walker!

Melissa was great with Chief! She sent photos and gave updates during her stay. She even baked and left us some treats when she left! We would definitely recommend!
