Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle, Reliable Care for All Pets
What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animals’ individual needs and my commitment to providing care that’s both compassionate and reliable. I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who require patience, medication management, and a gentle touch. I also currently work at an animal boarding facility that would take all species of animals so I have current and up to date experience with all types of animals including reptiles, small mammals/rodents, large mammals, and birds as well as administering medications.

Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are at the heart of how I care for pets—whether in my home or my client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure it stays clean and secure. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, pet-proofed space with plenty of comfort and supervision. I build trust by offering calm, attentive care and sending regular updates, so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs each pet requires. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets feel secure and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including medication, exercise, and cuddle time, while keeping pet parents updated with regular check-ins. Safety and trust are always my top priorities—I treat every pet like family and every home with respect.
