The Pet Butler ≽^•⩊•^≼

Hi, I’m Melissa and I welcome bookings in Pinnacle (Rogers) and nearby areas. I care for cats and small to medium-sized dogs. 🐱 🐶 I’m called the pet butler because I do everything to pamper your pets! Your fur baby will get all the loving care and active play time they deserve. I’ve owned (well, they owned me) pets my entire life, which means understanding their needs comes naturally to me. I have experience raising cats, Dachshunds, Pomeranians, Westies, and Malteses. For the past 20 years, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family so I’m comfortable with lots of other breeds too. Through volunteering at animal shelters with rescued animals, I’ve learned how to comfort cats and dogs who are shy, anxious, or sensitive to change. I have a few tried-and-true tricks that help pets (and pet parents) feel at ease. 🐾

Melissa was amazing, and we would absolutely book with her again. She took great care of our pets and our home, and kept us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages and photos that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She really went above and beyond when our dog had an anxiety-related issue while we were away, handling everything with so much care and attention. It meant a lot to know our pets were in such good hands. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a dependable, caring pet sitter!

She is so kind! Our doggies were so happy to have someone stay with them while we were out of town. She kept them fed and active. Our house was as clean as we left it

My cat is the most affectionate and cuddly cat on earth, but only with me. With everyone else, she will Harry Houdini into the nearest hidey hole. Despite this, Melissa was able to locate her and send me pics of her, the food/water dishes and litter box every time she visited over a 2.5 week period. It made me feel secure that my baby was being well taken care of despite her pretending to be a ghost. I highly recommend Melissa as she is both dependable and diligent. Thanks Melissa!

Absolutely fantastic! Extremely communicative and treated my pets better than I would expect from a pet sitter. The frequent pictures and updates were much appreciated!

Melissa stayed at my house and took care of my babies while we were on vacation. We left her information on the dogs schedule, food and medicine. She is a great communicator texting me pictures and information throughout the day. The dogs loved her and were well taken care of. I will schedule her again.
