Pet care experience

Let's go for a walk!

I adopted my own large breed dog as a high energy puppy, and cared and accommodated her as she aged into a senior. I have experience caring for multiple pets at the same time, and do my best to give each one it's own time, attention, and care. I have experience with administering medications, such as antibiotics, pain relief, as well as specific dietary needs.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 17, 2025

Melissa is hands-down the best person to care for your animals. She watches my 6 month old puppy weekly for my in office day, and my mind is always at ease when she’s watching Finn. She provides detailed updates regarding his behavior on walks, and pays special attention to him as he has a knack for eating anything that crosses his path. I honestly couldn’t recommend Melissa enough - you will not be disappointed!

Melissa has been my primary contact for anytime I need pet care. I have 3 dogs, a cat, birds and multiple aquariums. She has been able to take care of everything without any issues and all my animals love her. She is very professional and responsible about showing up on time and ensuring that every detail is perfect. I can go on trips or spend some extra time at work and I have peace of mind that everyone is well taken care of!

Melissa took Atticus last minute and took great care of him. I received updates with pictures of my buddy smiling and enjoying his stay. She made him feel at home. She was flexible with our dropoff/pickup window and responds timely. Thank you Melissa.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2025

Melissa was available on short notice, easy to work with, great at communication and most importantly our dog seemed super comfortable with her, which removed a ton of stress knowing that she was not only safe but in a familiar environment with a friendly person. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Melissa!

I have relied on Melissa on many occasions to care for my cats while I was on vacation. She was always routine with her visits and would give them some much needed attention while we were away. The litter boxes were always cleaned and they never went without food or water. If there were any accidents they were always cleaned up as if it never happened. I recommend Melissa for the caregiving of cats and dogs for anyone needing someone who is reliable and attentive.

Melissa has been amazing! We have used her services a few times and she's always punctual and communicative while we're away. She took wonderful care of my two cats while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. One of my cats is diabetic and requires medication on a schedule, and she was able to administer it with confidence and care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and caring sitter!

Schedule

I'm currently working part time so I have extra time to spend with your pets! I will stop by multiple times in a day to check on your pet if needed, or hang out with them for an extended time as well. I enjoy long walks and don't mind spending extra time letting them sniff around.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with room for fetch! My neighborhood has sidewalks and low traffic, perfect for long walks! My own dog was reactive to strangers and other dogs so I always try to be aware if they are comfortable and am able to adapt to our surroundings.

A typical day

I love to start the day in my fenced yard, with lots of grass to roll around in a play fetch. My neighborhood is a great place for long walks and I like to change up my route often. After everyone gets their energy out, we can hang out on the couch or on a nice comfy dog bed and enjoy some supervised treat time. My house is child free and a very calm and peaceful atmosphere.
