Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible Schedule for Pet Sitting!
I’ve had animals all my life and since i don’t currently have them at the moment I LOVE spending time with other peoples pets! I have watched multiple family and friends pets when they go on vacation and really enjoy the company of animals for a few days! I work with our therapy dog that we have at work, and have also volunteered at the humane society! I have somewhat of a hybrid schedule depending on the week, so depending on what your pet is use to we can try work around it.

Ratings and reviews
First the positives: Melissa offered 2 pre sitting visits to discuss plans and meet the cats. My two cats were cared for. Melissa sent a lot of pictures. She was willing to feed an extra meal. That was extremely helpful. Thank you. The negatives: The electric litter box was not run as discussed. When I returned home the area was dirty. There was dried litter on the back of the laundry room door. I don’t even know how that’s possible. It was upsetting to discover dried pee by the back door. Attention to the litter box was one of the main points because one of our cats gets stressed in dirty conditions. There was an unexpected guest overnight. This was a surprise and concerning to have an unplanned stranger in my home while I was away. Overall I am glad that our cats were fed but this was not a comprehensive pet sitting stay as was discussed and paid for.
This is the second time we’ve booked with Melissa, and she’s been awesome both times. Diggity loves her and is always super calm and happy when she’s around. She sends us great pictures, and it’s clear he’s comfortable and well taken care of. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable and caring!
Melissa was awesome she sent so many pictures and I could tell miso was well taken care of. She left my place clean and was a great communicator!
Melissa took great care of my home and dog. The house was left very clean, and my dog seemed happy and comfortable. I really appreciated her help collecting the mail and taking the trash to the curb and back. The only small surprise was seeing a few unfamiliar faces on my Ring camera, as I hadn’t been informed about the number of people coming in and out. A bit more communication on that would have made me feel more at ease. Overall, I’m thankful for the care and look forward to smoother communication next time.
Mellisa took care of our pets (dog, cats and turtles) for 10 days when we travel to Italy. She was sending us updates and pictures so we did not have to worry about our pet babies. We would definitely book Mellisa again.
Always right on time. Melissa is very attentive to our dog.

Schedule
Based on the schedule you provide I will try my best to follow it as closely as possible. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, but grew up with animals and will treat yours like my own!!
