Highlights
Pet care experience
Senior animals are my specialty!
I have always had pets and hold a special spot in my heart for senior animals ❤️ I currently volunteer to walk dogs in my neighborhood while their owners are at work. My skills include feeding, grooming, walking, giving medication, and creating a cozy and safe environment for your fur baby. When booking doggy daycare or boarding, my husband Michael is at home as well and can assist with care to ensure your pup is never left alone. This is ideal for separation anxiety.
Cat care experience
Melissa also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
❤️ My goal is for your pet to be as safe and cared for as if he or she were my own. 📷 I'm happy to take pictures of your pet having a good time! 🐈 🐕 Please let me know what your pet prefers and if there are any treats they cannot eat. I always like to bring a little treat with me when I first meet an animal. 🌳 It's for the best if I don't take your dog to an off-leash park (for a lot of reasons). 🏡 I can care for animals at my house. It has a fenced backyard and is safe.
Ratings and reviews
They easily adjusted to my large and somewhat difficult dog's schedule! Easy to work with, good communication.
Melissa is a wonderful dog and house sitter and I would definitely recommend her! She has helped me out 4 times now.
Very communicative and the boys were in perfect health and hapoy.
All the critters were well cared for as usual— thank you!
Thank you for being SO accommodating when our pick up time changed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that Kali could continue to stay with you during our flight delay. We also appreciated the daily updates while we were away. You always take such wonderful care of her!
Worked with me to find time to walk the pups. Very communicative.

Schedule
Professionally, I was a health care executive for over 20 years and transitioned to consulting work. After deciding life is too short, I now enjoy walking cute pups and snuggling with cuddly kitties ❤️ Personally, I have a husband and an 18 year old son. My schedule can get booked quickly but if you need care urgently and are not seeing availability on my calendar, please send me a message and I'll do my best to assist.
