About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Melissa - A Lifelong Child & Animal Lover with a Personal Touch As a proud mom who raised four children and a lifelong animal lover, I understand the patience, love, and consistency it takes to care for both kids and pets. Over the years, I've nurtured children of all ages from newborns to teens and cared for countless pets, including dogs, cats, horses, turtles, birds, and more. Now that my own kids are grown and I no longer have pets of my own, every child and animal I care for holds a special place in my heart. I treat them like family because that's what they deserve. I offer a calm, loving environment with one-on-one attention, whether it's caring for a single child, siblings, one pet, or multiple from the same home. I believe in positive reinforcement, creative activities, and plenty of opportunities for fun and learning whether that's story time, outdoor play, beach walks, or simply cuddles and companionship.

We moved to Long Beach four months ago and of course, one of my biggest concerns was a dog sitter for our three medium size pups, one of which is a rescue and quite anxious. We're out of town a lot (at least 1x per month) and need a dog sitter who we're comfortable with in our house (generally do overnights) , is responsible, and communicates well. We came across Missy and once we met her, and my husband and I could tell right away that she was a great fit. We've been working with Missy ever since we moved here and highly recommend her to take care of your dogs. She will love them as her own and send you cute videos too!
