The best sitter in town

I am a very loving and caring animal lover. I treat them as my own children. I have had pets all my life. I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting, caring for sick dogs, dog obedience, feeding, and bathing. I enjoy I have pets around all the time they are good companions love to cuddle. They are very playful and keep on my toes. I am also have a very flexible schedules anytime. This is my passion. Animals put a smile on my face. I treat them equally like my children.I love exercising and playing with them outdoors. I don’t have any problems with couch potatoes or bed potatoes. My doors are open to any pet whether they need extra attention or not.

This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with someone caring for my dog! Melissa and her family went above and beyond in every possible way. They were incredibly supportive, attentive, and truly treated my dog like part of their own family. They followed all feeding schedules perfectly, made sure he was comfortable at all hours, and he had an amazing time playing with their dog, they became instant buddies! Melissa also provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind and showed just how happy and well cared for he was. She made sure my dog felt welcomed, loved, and safe from day one. If a 10 star rating were available, I would give it without hesitation that’s how exceptional and attentive she was. If you’re considering leaving your dog with anyone, I truly cannot stress this enough: Melissa is, by miles, the best option you could ever choose.

I consistently have the best experiences with Melissa. She was able to accommodate a last minute for a family emergency. She was also prepared with things I couldn’t get for my dog. I love knowing I have someone reliable and safe to watch hunter while I was away. P.s. Not sure what doozy perfume she uses but my dog always comes home clean and smelling great and no extra cost 🥰
