Safety, trust & environment

I will provide a loving resource to care for your pet or pets in the environment they’re most comfortable in, their home. Stress and fear are just as hard on pets as they are for people.

Information Melissa S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. I’ve administered pills, liquids, and intravenous meds.

A typical day

We’ll play fetch and any games your baby likes to play. Long walks are great exercise for everyone. Great way to stimulate the mind and body with being in nature.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of many types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, geese, ducks, chickens, and wildlife. I’ve had and cared for many special needs animals. Including those suffering from renal failure, CHF, diabetes, and cancer. All just need and respond to love.

Couldn’t recommend Melissa enough. She is the most caring to Jax and really looks out for his wellbeing. I feel super comfortable with taking trips with such a reliable sitter!

Melissa is always professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. Commentary from Pepper, Hoppy, et.al. not available at this time other than sustained purring.
