Working with Melissa was a fantastic experience. She came over and got to know our dogs before we left on vacation and got familiar with their surroundings. While we were away, she kept us up to date with pictures and details from her visits so we felt comfortable knowing our dogs were in great hands. Will definitely work with her again and highly recommend.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

I highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting services. I originally contacted her with a last minute request to take care of my 2 kitties. She was very accommodating and I really enjoyed meeting her at our meet and greet. I immediately felt comfortable that she is good with animals and would take care of them. Everything went great while I was away and she kept me up to date on my cats and how they were, which I greatly appreciated. I will be requesting her services in the future and so thankful I found someone that I can trust.

Details: Cat • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

As any pet owner we always get anxious when it comes time to find someone to watch them as we are away. However, Melissa made me feel like my dog was hers as well. She always updated me throughout the day, she brought him treats (which i did not expect her to do that), and played with him (even past the times she was schedule to do so to make sure my puppy got his energy out with exercise). She is one of the kindest pet sitter I have ever met. Melissa is the person you can trust with your pet! I will be hiring her for any future pet sitting jobs.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing exercise • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

We headed out of town for a week and our puppy Harold was nice five months and had never been without us. He is a rescue from a shelter so we were wary of boarding him so young. Melissa took great care of him! Very warm and friendly, Harold loved her and her daughter right away. She also took great care of my house and was respectful of my privacy and space. She was communicative the whole time we were away and kept us updated with notes and photos. We returned home to a well exercised, well taken care of, happy pup.

Details: Dog • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Providing exercise • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once in total • My home, venue, etc.

Absolutely amazing ❤ i never left my pets with anyone but family, but she made me feel secure leaving them with her. She's reliable, responsive( i was unfortunately on a rather sudden time crunch), and overall the best decision i ever made to take care of my babies while i was out of town. Will absolutely be using her again!
