About: I'm a dog & cat lover. Dog is the most loyal company of humans. I like them smell so hard like they can’t help themselves, I like their soft paws, I love them kiss me a little bit, but not too much. I don’t like they always try to run outside for no reason. I used to have a German Shepherd, a Lion Cat with odd eyes, and a corn snake. I'm now self-employed, so I have time. My kids love dogs and cats, too. In our family, pets are not just companions, they are cherished members of our household. We all have a deep affection for cats and dogs, delighting in the time spent playing with them. Our children especially enjoy interacting with our furry friends. They will have fun in our house. We regularly inspect our home for potential hazards to ensure that our pets do not come into contact with harmful substances or dangerous areas. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is a priority; therefore, we routinely clean the areas where our pets live. Additionally, we provide appropriate toys and ample space for activities to meet our pets' exercise and entertainment needs. I’m self employed, time is flexible.

“We are so grateful to have found Melissa as a nearby sitter for my moms little Maltese, Roxy. When my mom had an unexpected emergency hospital stay, Melissa was so flexible and understanding, taking the booking to watch Roxy at the very last minute. Roxy had a great “vacation” at Melissa’s - with lots of pictures and updates for us. I am grateful for Melissa’s kindness and I will certainly book with her again in the future. Added bonus is that she only takes small dogs which is perfect for miss Roxy!”


“well, like all of us, we love our dogs. I am so fortunate to find Vanessa. I felt she treated my pup like it was her own. Every time I saw a video it made me smile. When I came to pick her up, I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I felt like she was at a wonderful sleep weekend camp”


“I left my 4 year old boxer Zeus with Donna for 8 days. It was winter recess & the first time we left him with someone he was not overly familiar with. Donna was friendly and responsive to my text messages so we set up a greet and meet to visit her in person. I noticed she was extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. I felt Zeus would be in very good hands after our meet and greet and locked the date in. Donna let me know she had a few other dogs she was also watching that week, but knew with her knowledge he would be fine and perhaps beneficial since Zeus loves playing with other dogs. After a week long play date Zeus is now tired but very content . It was nice knowing I could go away and not have to worry about my pup! I will be using Donna again in future. Thank you Donna :)”


“Lindsay was so friendly and communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and could tell my pup was well looked after. He came home relaxed and happy.”


“Alyssa is the best dog sitter! Our dog Zeke stayed with her for two nights so far, she sends us updates and pictures of him hourly! Highly recommend her services. We will be using her in the future.”


About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.


About: A lifelong animal lover, I have a deep love and respect for dogs. I am a former vet tech who will shower your dog with love and affection. We can go on walks or play in the yard; whatever is preferred. Drop in visits, feeding, walking and playtime can be provided. I will text you pictures of your dog so can be assured they are safe and happy. I will care for your dog as if it were my own and provide only the best. I'm a stay at home mom, so I am very flexible and almost always available. I welcome last minute bookings as well. I can't think of a better way to spend my day than caring for your pet!
