Highlights
Pet care experience
Endless patience, endless love
I grew up on a farm taking care of all sorts of rescue animals. I care for animals for additional income to help support my pursuit as a professional cyclist and because I love providing owners' with peace of mind while they are away and pets with positive experiences in the absence of their companions. I'm acutely aware of the varying needs and personalities of animals due to the ones I have taken care of over the years; I love meeting them, learning them, and responding to them. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and dogs in full health to those with ailments such as spina bifida who are paralyzed from the hips down. I'm comfortable meeting and caring for all these things and more. I look forward to providing the highest care for animals for their owners and getting some happiness from the pet in return!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Frank and Lucy enjoyed their time with Melissa. She was a wonderful in-home pet sitter and I will definitely hire her again in the future. Melissa was a very good communicator, sending updates and lots of fun pictures and videos of my pets.
The parrot and the dog have a lot of special needs. The parrot, especially, is a complicated creature. Melissa applies what she knows, extrapolates, and understands both the specificity and the spirit of the instructions for their care. She focuses on all the right things. She is thorough and patient and compassionate. It is hard for me to leave these two creatures, and I feel like I e really found someone in Melissa that seeks to understand them in depth. Thank you Melissa for everything.
Melissa is the best! I felt so at ease when she was with my dog, and will absolutely book with her again. She took wonderful care of him and my home! She is very communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and warm. I could travel knowing my dog was in great hands, which is such a gift.
Melissa is excellent. She cared for our furry loved one, spent a lot of time with him, and was attentive to his special needs. We are usually hesitant to leave him with anyone but have found a trusted companion for him. Thank you Melissa!
Melissa was so great with our two dogs! She sent great updates and put us so at ease while we were away! We highly recommend her!
Melissa is AMAZING! My pups couldn't be happier when I am away. I have so much comfort when I am traveling knowing Melissa is there. 3 times and counting!

Schedule
I am a cyclist, so I am home most, if not all of the day and primarily leave the home only for rides (I have the ability to bring a small trainer and ride inside as well). I am very flexible when it comes to the needs of your pet in terms of time spent alone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a pet friendly home that will allow your fur baby comfort and relaxation while you are away. I am equipped with many if not all of the items needed for your furry friend to be completely taken care of.
A typical day
I am willing to run and or bike with them if that is what you and your dog want; trails, fetch, exploring, swimming or resting.
