House Sitting in Ashland

After three overnights and a lot of snow, I came home to pets that are calm and content and well cared for. This is not the first time Julie has taken care of my crew, and I’ll definitely be asking her back.

I can’t say enough good things about Melissa! She was incredibly responsible, always punctual, and followed every care instruction. Her trustworthiness gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves animals—our pets were so happy and relaxed under her care, and she even sent us updates with photos that showed them thriving. She went above and beyond, treating our furry family members like her own. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

The parrot and the dog have a lot of special needs. The parrot, especially, is a complicated creature. Melissa applies what she knows, extrapolates, and understands both the specificity and the spirit of the instructions for their care. She focuses on all the right things. She is thorough and patient and compassionate. It is hard for me to leave these two creatures, and I feel like I e really found someone in Melissa that seeks to understand them in depth. Thank you Melissa for everything.
