Reviews
My cat “Olive” and I think the world of Melissa!! I am so happy that my good friend Christine recommended her to “us”. I am away from home for a couple of months on business, and I am so glad to know that “Olive” is well looked after, and is in such “good hands”.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer drop-in service because it keeps your pet(s) at home, in their known environment with all of their normal surroundings, which is less stressful while you're gone. I don't recommend leaving high-energy or high-needs pets alone with only a drop-in sitter for more than a couple days.
Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know their typical schedule (I like to stick to it as close as possible), and what their favorite games, toys, and treats are!
A typical day
I love to give lots of love and talk to your pets about their day, good things going on, etc. If they have a favorite game, I love to play! Walks are dictated by what you need to get out of them, so if your pup is a casual stroller that likes to smell the roses, we can do that. If your pup's walk is all business, I get it!

Availability
I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule so I am able to devote the love and care your pets need. I can stay as little or as long as your pet needs! First, all basic needs are met: water, food, exercise, and potty cleanup. If your pet needs to play or be walked, we can do that. If they'd rather me go home (if you have cats, you know they can be shy or scared of new people!), I can leave shortly after everything is taken care of. It's all tailored to you and your pet's needs.
