Pet care experience

Lots of love for your little ones

I grew up with a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, so I’ve had experience caring for dogs from a young age. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with your dog’s usual routine. While most of my experience has been with smaller dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly medium and larger dogs and would love having a walking buddy!

Melissa is a caring and nurturing sitter, perfect for my King Charles Cavalier – a typically anxious breed – but my Elliott settled immediately with her. I recommend Melissa and will rehire her whenever we need a sitter.

Mel is such a wonderful pet lover and caregiver! She was always available to take care of my cat whenever I traveled for work, and I always felt comfortable leaving my cat with her. She’s super friendly, reliable, and always keeps me updated with photos and little updates throughout the day. Most importantly, my cat absolutely LOVES her! I would definitely recommend Mel to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.

Schedule

My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m completely free on Mondays! I can easily stop by for check-ins, feeding, walks, and some quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to have pets stay with me, including overnight, if you prefer a more home-away-from-home experience.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a designated pet relief area, and my neighborhood is very walkable with plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I’ll always follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s usual routine closely, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home.
