Reviews
Melissa was the best sitter!! She sent me pictures and detailed messages every day :) highly recommend!
Melissa was so awesome taking my dog over the holiday weekend. Her dog is a great companion for any dog to socialize with. Melissa sent pics and even notified me of a potential health issue my puppy had. Will definitely book again!
Melissa was a great pet and house sitter. She watched my two senior pups for a few days and did not mind having to give them medications after a surgery. She was great about providing updates and communicating to let me know how they were doing. I highly recommend her and will reach out again.
Melissa is loving and caring with pets. She has an animal science degree with adds value in case medicine needs to be administered. Your pet will be fully cared for without hesitation. 100% recommended.

I have a dog and an indoor cat at home—they’re both microchipped, and my cat wears an AirTag. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions to make sure your pet’s routine, food, and comfort are spot on. Whether I’m caring for them at your place or mine, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet
It’s super helpful to know your pet’s routine, any quirks, health issues, favorite toys, and things they don’t like. The more I know, the better I can keep them comfy and happy while you’re away!
A typical day
We'll go on walks, play with their favorite toys, have plenty of cuddle time, and maybe a treat or two (with your permission, of course!). I’ll keep them happy, active, and loved while you’re away.
