We are a fur-friendly house: 9 yo American Shorthair cat (Acer) and 11 yo BorderJack dog (Florence), both female. Pups must be feline tolerant, if not friendly. We cultivate a chill space: individualized attention, usually quiet environment, special attention and treats. Pups are exercised but not overstimulated with us.

Safety, trust & environment

Pups hang with me on the balcony and watch the neighborhood or cuddle on the couch. We go out for potty and walks frequently. We do live on the second floor, so I will either need to be able to pick up your furbaby or have them able to manage the stairs.

Information MC B. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with dogs with special needs and senior pets. I strive to know more so I can better help my furry friends. Everything from medication to eating preferences, knowing their aches and pains and what makes them smile are paramount

A typical day

There are lots of walking trails with smells and smooth walking to get the wiggles out Playing catch and tug-of-war are fun bonding activities Brushing, cuddles and but scratches are a big part of our day

Allergic to cats but undeterred!

Cat care experience

My first experience with a cat was working at a garden center, she needed a home and she picked me. Although I am allergic to cats, I brought her home and we have been buddies ever since. I love senior kitties, they are the most cuddly. I am a dog person but the pur of a cat is my weakness. I also really enjoy “talking” with them.

Mel was fantastic with our senior diabetic kitty. She provided daily updates, gave him insulin daily, and showed him lots of love. I can't recommend Mel enough for her patience and kindness with our cat. She did such a wonderful job that when we brought him home, there was no adjustment period, as often seen after boarding, he jumped right back into his normal routine and demeanor. Thanks, Mel!

MC, herself is an amazing pet parent. Also, she has helped me numerous times with my dog who is a rescue and leery of most people. My cats adore her. They come running to the door when she comes in and enjoy her loving on them.

Melisa has watched my dog for quite some time now. She is so great with her. When she arrives she makes sure she gives my pup a treat before anything else. Aside from the standard care, she really loves my dog and it shows! So thankful for her. Definitely recommend!!

Melisa is a wonderful dog sitter! She tended to our Flo with so much attention to detail and care. She took her on several walks a day, kept record of her daily activities and kept me updated while we were away. There is no better pet sitter than Melisa!
