Experienced, trustworthy, mature

Pet care experience

Over 15+ years of professional experience in pet/house sitting (few days to many months) and dog walking with absolutely pristine and stellar reviews! For me, taking care of your pet(s) and home will be a privilege and absolute joy, not a chore. As an experienced homeowner, landlord, and previous pet owner for many years, I understand your concerns, needs, and desire to have the peace of mind that everything back home (property, pets, mail, garden, plants, garbage, recycling, etc.) are being properly cared for with the utmost attention and love while you are away. Therefore, you can be rest assured that your home and pet(s) would be in good hands under my excellent care. I will also go to great lengths to ensure that your home and pet(s) will be secure and that your privacy will be maintained. By entrusting me with your home and pet(s), you will be able to travel with complete peace of mind. In addition, I have experience taking care of sick and/or injured pet(s), knowledge about basic home maintenance skills, and previous relevant experience managing and cleaning Airbnb rental properties. I am confident in taking care of multiple pets at the same time. Growing up with animals, I have come to love being around them any chance I can get. I look forward to meeting you and taking precious care of your home and furry friend(s) soon!

This is second time we used Melissa. This time she watched the dogs for a full week. Both my dogs love Melissa. We got plenty of pics and videos while away. She's an absolute professional. You can rest assured that your pets will be in good hands. Definitely will be booking her this summer!

Melissa was like a second Mom to my Izzy. She stayed with her overnight and took her on adventures during the day and kept me in the loop with pictures and videos. It eased my mind knowing Izzy was well taken care of. Melissa is a pro at what she does and is a great communicator on the stay. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Melissa was absolutely an amazing pet and house sitter. We recently moved to the area and have never left our dog with anyone other than a family member. I was naturally apprehensive. However, the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by Melissa completely alleviated any concerns I had. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel at ease with regular updates including videos and pictures. From the start Melissa’s communication was exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone not only seeking professional care but genuine affection for their pets. Leaving behind your pet is never easy, but with Melissa, you can rest assured that your pets will be in the best possible hands.
