Melissa’s Pet Sitting and Dog Walking

I am thrilled to write a glowing review for Melissa! I’ll echo what others on this page have said to call her the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I have a dog that takes medication daily, has digestive issues, a super sensitive temperment, the occasional seizure, separation anxiety — i.e. a bit on the high maintenance side. I’m always leery of leaving him in the care of others for his sake and theirs– but from the moment I spoke to Melissa on the phone I knew she was the gal for the job. She is experienced, responsible, caring and has a genuine passion for what she does. She completely rolled with Charlie’s issues and handled everything with ease. She is very communicative, sends pictures and responds immediately to any questions you might have while you’re gone. Melissa is great at her job and an all around wonderful person. BIG thumbs up for her!

Mellisa is amazing I don’t have enough good things to say about her. She has been with me through puppyhood and She has gone above and beyond taking care of my dog.

Melissa walks her clients all over town. I run into her frequently. The dogs are getting great exercise and socialization skills. It’s very clear to me that she loves her puppies. I would definitely let her walk me!

Seriously the best pet-​sitter of my dog — owning life! Melissa sent us pictures, texts, and messages the entire time we were gone. She’s so caring and thoughtful. You really feel like your animal child is going to be safe and happy when they are in Melissa’s care.

Melissa is honestly the best pet sitter I have had! Besides being super sweet to me and my dog Bella, she is honest, reliable, and ready to jump in at a moment’s notice. On several occasions this summer, my flight was delayed or unexpectedly cancelled, and Melissa always came to the rescue. She is flexible and made sure that Bella was walked and fed every time my travel plans changed. Hire her today! Your pets will thank you. :-)

After thoroughly researching options for care of our Yorkshire Terrier while visiting Newport, we chose Melissa & were so happy we did! She is highly responsible, warm & caring! Our dog is a little shy of strangers because I have a work-​from-​home– business & she is not used to being left but Melissa agreed to meet with us a little earlier so we could transition gently. She listened carefully and was sensitive to our dog’s specific needs. She sent a picture to keep me updated which I really appreciated. However, the most obvious proof that we had made a great choice is that when we reunited our dog was sad to leave Melissa behind! I would highly recommend her to anyone considering care for their canine family member.

Melissa was a lifesaver! While in Newport for our wedding, Melissa made sure our dog got the exercise he needed. She is professional, communicative and gave us peace of mind that our boy was in great hands. We highly recommend her!

Melissa is wonderful. She is dependable, flexible, and professional.
She walks and plays with my two puppies. They look forward to her coming as do we.
She is highly recommended.
