About: I have been caring for dogs For over 10 years, but in reality, i have always had pets in my life. I love animals and enjoy making sure they are happy, Safe, and well Cared for every day lincorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling walks and drop-in visits at times that are convenient for the pets and their owners. I make sure to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks, keeping the pets happy and safe throughout the week. I provide a safe and caring environment during walks and drop-in visits at the client's home. I make sure pets are never left unattended, follow the owner's instructions carefully, and ensure they have food, water, playtime, and potty breaks. Safety and trust are my top priorities.

“Michelle is great with our little challenging kitty. He really loves her and their lap time! She’s great about sending us pictures, too, which we really appreciate when we are far away!”

“The dogs all loved her and we're planning on using her for more future visits!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters: We treat every guest dog like part of the family. Rather than just providing supervision, we integrate your dog into our daily routine and pack structure. This means your dog enjoys social time, structured play, and a calm, balanced environment—not just a place to stay. We understand canine body language and pack dynamics, which helps us introduce new dogs smoothly and safely. Whether your pup is full of energy or more reserved, we match their pace and make sure they feel at home. We also have experience with: -Senior dog care, including medication and mobility needs -Dogs with anxiety or who need extra reassurance -Multi-dog households and managing different temperaments We keep you updated with photos and notes, and always aim to return your dog even happier than when they arrived! I do typically work at 8am, so any hand offs after that time do need to be quick but can work. Anything before 8am I do have a bit of time to socialize and give same day tours. Since I work from home with a very flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, walks, and plenty of cuddle time or one-on-one attention whenever your dog needs it. Your dog will never be left waiting—whether it’s playtime with the pack, quiet rest, or extra snuggles. I’m able to quickly adjust to their needs throughout the day and keep a calm, consistent environment that makes them feel safe and loved. Being home most of the time means your pup will always have companionship and supervision, with frequent updates sent to keep you connected to their day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and sense of belonging are our top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard where all dogs are always supervised during potty breaks and outdoor play. Inside, guest dogs don’t just stay downstairs—they’re fully integrated into our family routine and spend time alongside our boys in all common areas. Crates remain available and are used only if it suits each dog’s comfort and routine. We maintain a spotless environment—blankets, crates, toys, and dog beds are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between visits to ensure every pet has a fresh, safe space. Whether it’s playtime in the living room, cuddles on the couch, or lounge breaks in the quiet corners, your dog will feel like part of the pack in a calm, loving home.

“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

Genevieve F.

“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”

About: I have been pet sitting around my neighborhood for years and am very trust worthy! I am starting nursing school and would love to make extra money on the side by loving and taking care of animals while studying for my bachelors!! I am currently about to be starting nursing school and will be living at home and studying. I can drive wherever to pet sit, walk dogs, or be there to cuddle your fur babies!! I have two dogs in my family, an eight year old Rottweiler, and a six month old puppy mix!! I have watched both younger dogs, senior pups, and cats!!

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had family dogs growing up and had a dog of my own in my early twenties, so caring for them has always been a part of my life. Around 2020, friends and coworkers started asking me to house sit while they traveled, and that’s when I realized how much I genuinely enjoy caring for other people’s homes and especially thier pets. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities... from tiny Chihuahuas and miniature Poodles to Huskies, Pit Bulls, and Dobermans. I’ve also spent some time with cats, hamsters, bunnies, and lizards. Unfortunately I have retired for caring for cats due to allergies. I know that every dog is different. Some want to play nonstop, some love long walks, and others just want someone cuddles. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ve even helped reinforce basic training, taught a few fun tricks, and worked on some very simple behavioral habits when owners have appreciated. I believe consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your best friend is getting plenty of attention, exercise, affection, care until you’re back home. I’m currently a surgical technology student, and my classes are scheduled in the mornings, which means I’m available most afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and quality time with your pets. Trusting someone with your animal is a huge deal. I am big on personal integrity and respect. I know every pet is different, so I like to stick as closely as possible to the routine they’re already used to. Whether that means long walks, playtime in the yard, keeping up with feeding schedules, or just hanging out on the couch together, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my biggest priority. I’m especially careful on walks, pay attention to each dog’s personality and body language. This means, my phone is away… unless I sneak a really cute picture of your pup. I also know how important it is to trust the person staying in your home, so I’ll treat your space with respect and leave it just the way I found it. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos because I know I’d want the same if someone was watching my dog. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away worry free.

About an hour (time to let their food settle) after breakfast we go out for another supervised potty break, depending on the weather we'll stay outside and engage in some supervised play or come inside and do some enrichment activities before enjoying some down time to relax and reset. If you have requested a lunch for your pet, I'll provide a safe and quiet space for you pet to enjoy some lunch between 12pm-1pm.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and even birds/reptiles of both friends and family before. I use to work in the pet field and have a love of all animals. Ive owned animals of many kinds.

I also have some experience with administering medicines to both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time as a security officer and don't have a set schedule so i have alot of free time to spend with your pups or kits.

I have no issues following your instructions as written and will do my best to make it a fun and positive experience for both you and your pet.

“I highly recommend Ronda! They provided excellent care for our shy kitties, ensuring not only basic needs but also working on gaining the kitties’ trust (and our kitties don’t trust easily), giving them affection and playtime. Ronda even helped us by cleaning the kitties’ hairball oopsies! Reliable, trustworthy, and great communication throughout (I loved the daily pics). Our kitties seemed happy and content upon our return. A purrfect choice for any cat parent(s)!”

“Second time asking her to come and look after our 3 cats!! They like her & we don't have to worry about them when we go out of town. Thanks again for caring for them 😊”

“Anika came by for the meet and greet and was exactly on time! She is very friendly and personable. She took care of our two cats while we were gone (although she didn't see much of Zipper because he's shy). She sent pictures each day of playing with Pixie. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve been animal sitting since high school, watching both dogs and cats. I’ve done both over night stays and routine check ups depending on the needs of the owners. I currently own four cats so I’m very comfortable around your feline friends as well! I have experience walking and caring after larger dogs and handling reactive dogs on walks as well! I’m a full time electrical apprentice so my hours do very, however I am free in the evenings on weekdays and all day weekends. I’m comfortable doing over night stays as well. In my home my pets are constantly bombarded with treats and pets so there’s no need to worry about your pets going unloved! I love walking dogs and can easily crate them as well upon request!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 16 years old. I love caring for the pet of others and allowing pet owners to have peace of mind when they are away. I care for the pets of others if they were my own. I work from home, so I am flexible. When I pet sit sometimes the animals will hang out with me in my office while I am working, or sometimes I will find them in the living room sleeping on the couch. I care for pets in my home by allowing them to roam freely as if were their own home. It will vary depending on the type of care you pet needs. Special diets, etc.

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly can’t imagine my life without them. I grew up with dogs and had the privilege of caring for my childhood dogs throughout their entire lives. They both lived to be 15 and 16, so I have firsthand experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including their senior years. I took a little break from Rover over the years while focusing on my career and my own pup, but I’m so excited to be back doing something I’ve always loved. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I raised my current dog from a puppy, so I understand the energy, patience, and extra attention that puppies require. He’s also a reactive dog, which has taught me a lot about reading body language, respecting boundaries, being patient, and understanding that every dog has different needs and comfort levels. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m taking your pup on a walk, keeping them company, or caring for them while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their normal routines, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home.
