I am a Marine Corps Veteran with a background and extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and more. My passion for animal welfare and commitment to providing exceptional care allow me to offer a service that brings comfort and joy to both pets and their owners. I tailor my schedule to meet your specific needs, ensuring that you and your animal receive personalized attention at the times that work best for you. Based in a peaceful, tree-lined suburb, I provide a calm and secure environment for your pet, whether they require a relaxing retreat or an engaging, active experience.

Please consider me your partner in ensuring that your pet enjoys both care and a positive, enriching experience.

Ratings and reviews
Melissa was great! It was very comforting knowing that Matilda was having a good time hanging out with her sweet family and sweet pups. She sent regular updates and very cute pictures.
Melissa was great!! Super responsive and shared pictures.
Melissa is wonderful! She sent pictures and updates every day and was responsive and attentive. I will definitely send my dogs to stay with her again.
Melissa is definitely a good caregiver for my dog!! My family and I were kept updated every day in the morning and evening. When we saw our dog’s happy face in the pictures, we thought our young girl won’t come back home with me since she had so much fun with Melissa. I will absolutely send my dog to Melissa if my family and I have to be out of town in future.
Melissa was a great sitter. Consistent updates let us know Charlie was having fun and in good hands. I would definitely recommend. Thanks again for watching Charlie!!
Melissa was fantastic! Cooper was well taken care of and enjoyed himself in her care. She sent us regular updates and feedback on how he was doing. I will definitely be using Melissa again.

A typical day
I begin with a nutritious meal, followed by an initial walk to help your pet acclimate. Afterwards, we return home to enjoy some relaxed time together before proceeding with additional activities.
