Energetic, young teacher

Pet care experience

Hi I'm an animal loving teacher, who has grown up around a wide variety of animals. I have a lot of experience and a list of pets I've own to prove it. (I currently have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 8 rabbits, and the list continues if you can believe it). I love caring for and playing with animals and I would be more than happy to spread the love when you aren't able. I pet-sit for my friends frequently and give my neighbors' dogs walks when they are away at work. I am capable of handling any size pet and for those who have cats, I love cats. If I had to chose whether I'm a dog or a cat person, I'd have to say cat. So if you need someone to check in on your feline I am more than willing.

Melissa is the best! This is the second time we used her and we plan to use her in the future. I never worry about my cats when I use her. She feeds them, medicates them, cleans the litter, and gives them lots of love and play time. I look forward to seeing her rover cards at the end of each visit. The pictures are always so cute. 10/10 recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Melissa did a great job taking care of our cat, including giving him his daily medication. She followed his routine and he looked happy in the photos she sent. We will definitely rebook if she’s available the next time we go away!

I am so glad I found Melissa! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to come and take care of my cats! She is so sweet and my cats seemed to really like her. She was always on time with her arrivals, kept me informed, and shared pictures of my kitties with me. Thank you so much!

We needed Melissa to pop through to check on the dogs while we were away on a day trip. She was punctual, sent a bunch of picture updates and spent some quality time playing/cuddling with our boys. We are very happy with our experience with Melissa and will definitely reach out again next time we need someone.

Safety, trust & environment

I will do everything I can to make your pet(s) super comfortable while you are away. You tell me about their routine and I will do my best to abide by it so it’s like nothing has changed. I am very clean and organized and will try to leave your house cleaner than when I arrived.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they have any medical or behavioral issues. I would like to know any quirks like if your dogs go crazy if they see a squirrel or if your cat hates to be pet a certain way. Just let me know anything I can do to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

I love playing with your pets and will make sure they are well entertained while you’re away. If they’re good on a leash I would be happy to walk them around your neighborhood. I also love cuddles so they would receive so much love and I don’t mind if they sleep in the bed with me!
