Safety, trust & environment
In your home, your pets (and you) of course are in charge. We will find out as much as possible about your pets and what you want for them during the Meet-and-Greet, when we will get to know you and of course your pets. We are homeowners in Fleming Island, but don't mind driving. We are self-employed, and since there are two of us, we can work together or individually to meet your and your pets' needs, as drop-in play time visits or as overnight stays. For overnight stays, we try to stay flexible since every family and every pet is different. We will stay overnight in your home for up to 14 hours., which includes two of your pets' meals. We can work with you to add in day visits as well, depending on distance and hours. We will at times board up to three cats from one families, in a bedroom that is used as a cat playroom, with toys, cat trees, vertical shelving play space, a bed, cat beds, and a large window, with space to accommodate your cats' food, litter box, and special items. Your visiting feline will have privacy away from our cats, but of course plenty of time with us, in their own guest bedroom. Our long-term boarders have had the run of the house after everyone gets acquainted over time, and that can be considered as well. We understand the needs of families with multiple pets and will work with you whenever possible to keep costs affordable, with group rates. Just ask!
Ratings and reviews
Thank you, Nick and Melissa for always taking care of my kittens while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind, knowing that you are stopping by caring for the cats. I won’t hesitate to call you again.😊
We are so beyond grateful that we chose Melissa and Nicholas to watch our Polly. They are so sweet, loving, and caring! We know that Polly was so well taken care of. They send multiple photos each visit, which made us so happy. They played with her for 1-2 hours each visit which exceeded our expectations. This couple is not just trying to make some money, they are genuine cat lovers ans they will care for your baby so well. They also referred us to a good vet and adoption no-kill shelter for whenever we are ready to adopt a friend for Polly.
You won’t find a better pet sitter ANYWHERE!
We came home to happy animals! Attentive, went the extra mile.
They are great! Our babies love them.
Great communication. Daily pictures and regular updates of our animals!

Schedule
We have eight rescue cat family members and two foster kitties. They are indoor-only + enclosed catio cats. We have given them our adult son's bedroom so they have a playroom. They are all fed wet food twice a day and have access to dry food (and of course water) whenever they want. Water... and ice cubes when they hear us in the kitchen. Water... and tap water, when they hear the bathroom water faucet. Nope, not spoiled in the least! Treats are at 10:30 p.m. and yes, they CAN tell time! Play time is whenever anyone thinks it's play time. Clean-up is of course whenever it’s needed. Right now everyone is pretty healthy but with an age range of 13 years down to 18 months, We give medications and take them to the vet when they need to or at least once a year. We have lost two 17 year olds and a 16 year old recently, as they crossed the Rainbow Bridge. They are always in our hearts and we do as much as we can for them for as long as we can. Then another cat finds its way to our home it seems. We love our kids and we love our furry kids too!
