Dog-lover eager to help pet owners!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Melissa and I come from a family that has adopted, and cared for rescue dogs for my entire life. I am a huge dog lover, and I'm looking to help pet owners with balancing work, life, and pets! Most of the dogs I've owned have been medium-sized rescue dogs (40-60 lbs), from young dogs to elderly dogs. I promise to provide great care, send any daily texts / photos to pet owners, and shower each dog with affection. Like I mentioned, I know how hard it can be to raise a dog in a city, so let me help you! I take care instructions seriously, so you know that your dog will be cared for as if you were there yourself!

Melissa was amazing with Karl! It was only our second time leaving our pup with someone while we were out of town, and she was great. She took him on long walks and was super responsive, keeping us updated in how he was doing and even helping us troubleshoot some of his trickiest puppy behaviors.

Melissa is an excellent sitter! She took very good care of our pup and was very understanding and helpful when we had travel delays. She communicated well and provided regular updates and pictures. Would definitely book with Melissa again!

Melissa did a wonderful job with overnight cat sitting. She was very thoughtful, responsive, and accommodating. We will definitely ask her to watch our cat again in the future!
