Highlights
Pet care experience
Five Star, Friendly, Flexible, Fun!
Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses instilled in me a deep passion for animal care. Since age 10, I've been entrusted with caring for neighbors' dogs independently, demonstrating my reliability and responsibility. My experience with senior cats taught me the critical importance of adhering to specific pet needs and owner instructions. I'm dedicated to understanding animal behavior and care, continually expanding my knowledge through veterinary resources and online courses. My priority is your pet's well-being. I offer patient, consistent care, adapting to each animal's unique personality and needs, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I understand the peace of mind you seek when entrusting your pet to someone else, and I provide prompt communication and attentive care to ensure their happiness and safety. My experience extends to horses, demonstrating my comfort with animals of all sizes. I'm available seven days a week, offering flexible scheduling for exercise, supervision, and more. Your specific care instructions are most important, and I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for your pet. With no other pets or children at home, your animal receives my undivided attention. My background as a carpenter's assistant has honed my respect for clients' homes and rules while they are away. You're welcome to check in on your pet anytime, knowing their needs are my top concern. Note: Drop-in visits are tailored to your pet's needs and will not exceed 30 minutes.

Safety, trust & environment
Your instructions for care always come first. Whether your dog just needs a friendly, motivated individual to help them expel some energy, or you're nervous to leave them alone and have special requests, you know what's best for your pet. I do not have any other dogs, small animals, or children in the house so your pet will take priority in all situations to make the most of a new environment. Working as a carpenters assistant for years, I have been trusted in the home's of customers while they are away, and have full respect for house rules and homeowner instructions. You can check in with your pet anytime they are in my care, and breathe easy knowing their needs always come first.
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely wonderful experience! Melissa was thorough, kind and trustworthy! My dog has seizures, Melissa was able to be with her and medicate her so we could enjoy a nice family vacation while knowing our fur babies were being cared for! She was aware of Lucy’s condition and gave extra care and attention to her! Would hire again, 100percent!
Melissa did a great job and my dogs are a LOT to handle.
Melissa was amazing!! My senior dog takes a lot of medications and has to wear a wrap right now, and Melissa made sure he got all of his meds and sent lots of pictures and updates.
Melissa was extremely responsible, communicative, and caring with our dog Pearl. We will absolutely use her again and again.
Melissa is great! . She was very kind to my two cats , her professionalism is un matched. She was reliable , it was a last minute trip so I was so lucky she made sure she was free for us and she also send me pictures of my pets during the time she was with them . We will call her again for sure .
Once again, Melissa did a wonderful job. She kept me posted day to day. My cats and house were in order when I returned. She is a A+ sitter.
