Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know: Does your pet have any special needs or preferences? What gets them excited? What calms them? What helps them feel comfortable with new people?
A typical day
I love spending time with pets in a variety of ways and will try to meet your pet where they’re at that day, whether they need a brisk walk, playtime, or cuddle.

Reviews

Melissa is a wonderful dog and house sitter. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in her care!

Melissa is a wonderful house and dogsitter. She’s watched our dog, Ed, a couple times and we’re always so happy with the updates we get and the condition of the house when we get back.


Melissa was great! Super helpful and made sure the boys were happy and healthy!

Melissa was great with Luca and would be happy to work with her again. Highly recommend!
