Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal-lover: cat whisperer ❤️
I’ve taken care of cats for more 15 years now. Worked with a cat shelter dedicated to 70+ cats with feline leukemia, was a long-term foster mom to many of those FeLV kitties, and an overall cat lover.

Ratings and reviews
This was our second time having Melissa stay over to watch our senior cat, Princess. She requires some medications and is an extremely picky eater, so even though it's only one cat it's not a super simple sit. Princess was happy and unstressed when we got back, she sent plenty of updates and pictures, and our plants were well watered. She also leaves our place very clean. We'll be calling her next time we go out of town!

Melissa is fantastic and is our go-to cat-sitter when we are out of town. She always does an incredible job with our two cats and they get along great with her. She’s very communicative and sends lots of photos!


This was our first time having someone stay in our home with our older cat, and Melissa put our minds at ease! When she came over to meet Princess she knew all the right questions to ask (some that we hadn't even thought of) and seemed to know how to get on her good side. She was very communicative throughout and sent plenty of pictures. Our baby is on two medications now which is why we wanted an in-home sit and Melissa was able to get her to take the medicines, which is difficult even for us some days. When we got back, she seemed much less anxious and frantic than on previous trips where we just had friends check in on her. We so appreciated her help and would love to have her watch Princess again!

Melissa is amazing - she is incredibly responsive and took perfect care of our two cats and our apartment, we will absolutely be using her in the future! Highly recommend.


Melissa is great with our two cats! She always keeps our place nice and clean and is very communicative and respectful.


Melissa has helped us with cat-sitting our two cats a couple of times now, most recently while we were out of the country for two weeks. She’s done an incredible job with both of them, including making sure our cat who is more shy/skittish is comfortable, and provided us regular updates and pictures of how they were doing. We would recommend Melissa and would happily book her again!


Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently have a full-time job that is hybrid, so I have flexibility to care for cats during the day or overnight if given at least 24 hours notice.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious condo that I keep very clean so you never have to be worried about your cats getting into something. I always have time to give extra care/love with toys/overall playing and cuddling. I’m always happy to bring in mail/packages, and keep an eye on any plants as well.
A typical day
I love getting the opportunity to earn your pet’s trust and love. Will definitely keep them entertained with their favorite activities and send as many pictures/videos as possible.
