The best service I have ever had with regard to boarding our pet. Melissa is excellent with animals. My dog loves spending time with her and never seems to suffer separation anxiety. Our dog enjoys the time away from home very similar to when kids have a sleep over. Also, her prices are very reasonable.

I would highly recommend Melissa. She is caring, dependable, knowledgeable, and professional. I finally feel comfortable to leave town knowing that my two large beloved dogs are in such capable hands. Thank you Melissa!!

My dog is goofy, shy, fairly high energy, but very skittish and scared of people. She’s a new rescue from animal control. I have so much confidence in Melissa as the perfect person with the perfect home setup for my dog to learn to love again while I’m not home. She has patience love and empathy to all animals and I can’t wait to have my dog continue to come over and gain more confidence in outside situations! Communication was 10/10 flexibility was 10/10. I’m very happy!!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    First things first... I love 💕 meet and greets... that is why I will always include a free meet and greet.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Years of experience... seriously. 😁

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started animal sitting at the age of 9 when we first moved here from New York. It made me so happy to care for the animals while the owners were away. That feeling of gratitude from a pet owner is priceless. And I get to hang with more animals = sign me up as an animal sitter! 😉
