About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

“Melissa was everything we could have asked for in someone responsible for our pups and home while we were away. We have two dogs, each with their quirks. It was clear the first time Melissa met them that they were going to be well-cared for. It was equally clear that our home was going to be in good hands. Communication with Melissa while we were away was easy, and she sent us periodic pictures of the pups that made us smile. We also returned later than expected (by hours, not days), and she generously stayed later to make sure the dogs weren't alone without being able to go out too long. Melissa is personable, responsible, patient, and easily managed our very different dogs. When we got home they were happy, healthy and our house was in great shape. Next time we go away and need a house sitter, we would be delighted if she is available again.”

“Rebecca did a great job watching our dog Oliver over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was very communicative, gave him plenty of exercise, and left the house neat and clean. Thank you Rebecca!”


4. Gillian R.

“Gillian did a great job taking care of the pups. She asked all of the right questions to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. She communicated well with comments and pictures. When she came back to leave our key the pups were excited to see her. That’s all I needed to confirm she made them happy.”


5. Catherine B.

“We had Catherine watch our dog and cat overnight. Everything went well and everything was fine upon return. She didn’t mind that Chloe was barking at her like crazy upon arrival and all soon calmed down. Would use her again.”


6. CeCe F.

“Excelent service, now I know who would take care of my family pets when I am away. My dogs and cat where really comfortable with CeCe from day one. I am really happy with the service and the follow up pictures she sent me while I was away. She communicated with me at all times which I appreciate. Also my house was well taken care off.”


7. Courtney R.

“We're always anxious about who we leave in charge of our fur babies as well as our home. Courtney has been amazing for two separate overnights now. Super communicative, and the dogs seem immediately comfortable with her. We've found our new sitter!”


8. Daniel S.
“Dan is an animal lover who will take excellent care of your pets! He’s helped me with my own dog for many years and now he also helps with my dog walking clients. He is very responsible and pleasant to work with.”

10. Christy M.

“Christy is the best! She stayed with our beloved pup for over a week, and took great care of him. She sent us amazing photos of him daily, and our house was clean and orderly upon return. I’m so glad to have connected with Christy and we will definitely be inviting her back to take care of Donhenley.”




11. Elizabeth S.

“Elizabeth is so wonderful - she’s responsible, communicates clearly and often, but she especially is loving and caring to my Dogs. She takes such good care of them, and is so attentive, we feel so trusting that she will take such good care of them when we’re gone. Anyone is lucky to have her as a person taking care of their dogs. Highly recommend!”

15. Teadie Marie F.

“Teadie cared wonderfully for our 3 dogs as if they were her own, and even took our Rambo to an emergency vet appointment. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a great dog sitter.”

“Thank you Sam!”


17. Reed G.

“I am so pleased with my experience with Reed. They took care of my home and kitty needs while out of town for a week. I truly feel I can trust Reed and I would be happy to use their services again. I was well-informed throughout with great communication and I really feel MooMoo's was well-loved and attended to. Reed is the best!”


18. Yhakerra M.

“Yhakerra was a wonderful dog sitter!! So happy with everything. The dogs were very happy when I returned home and our place was clean and tidy as well. She sent photos and videos, communicated daily, and did so many things above and beyond expectations for their care. I will definitely hire her again for future care.”


19. Caroline G.
About: I grew up having dogs! My family had the sweetest golden retriever growing up. She loved going for walks and loved meeting new people. We took care of her through an injury and arthritis which made walking challenging. My family got another dog who is a giant mix rescue with a very different temperament. She is terrified of new people and hates the mailman but I have worked with her to interact with others and work through some of her fears. I have also spent a lot of time with friends and family dogs and have dog sat a few times, too. I am looking for summer care options as I will have free time since I am a full-time teacher. I would be able to help out during the day. I am a reliable person who takes care of people's property. I will follow all instructions left by owners and do everything I can for their fur babies. I can walk, feed, and clean up after pets.

About: I have a pretty open availability to take of your fur-babies. I do have 3 animals at home. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. My dog’s names are Nugget and Peanut. They are dog friendly once introduced properly. When i take my dogs out of walks, I usually bring them to different areas to get used to different environments and smells. When i do bring Nugget on walks and we see other dogs, I make sure the dog is friendly before approaching out of respect for both dogs and owners. Safety and Respect are my top priority but also allowing them to have fun and run around. I usually do long walks but i’m open to any type of walks and exercise for your pup. I walk my dogs everyday and I bring them to different areas so they can get immaculate with different smells and to get comfortable in different areas and possible meeting new friends (if they are pet friendly of course) I do have a fenced in yard that my dogs love to run around in and also just lay in the sun. We also do bring our family friend’s dog so they can have fun with our dogs and play in the backyard as well.
