We’ve invited Melissa to sit for us a few times now. Our house is always in great shape and our cats seem very happy. I love the videos of her playing with

Melissa was super friendly with the cats and sent us daily photos/video updates. She also kept the house clean for our return. Would definitely book her

My cat seems to have been very happy with Melissa, constantly going to her for affection. Everything else worked out well with the sit too.

Melissa took care of my terrier and apartment while I was away, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Her reliability and genuine care for animals are shown in her way of doing things. Beyond just meeting basic needs, Melissa went the extra mile to ensure my dog felt loved and comfortable. It’s reassuring to have someone like her, who not only follows instructions but also connects with your furry family member. If you need someone trustworthy and compassionate for your pets Melissa is the one to count on.

Why I want to house sit

I get to meet different pets and their personalities and that makes my day. I’ve always had dogs, cats, lizards and bunnies growing up. From a German shepherd to a very small pomchi, and several cats.
